+Matplotlib strives to produce publication quality 2D graphics for
+interactive graphing, scientific publishing, user interface
+development and web application servers targeting multiple user
+interfaces and hardcopy output formats. The 'pylab' mode
+of ipython uses matplotlib to emulate matlab graphics.
+
+This is the Python 3 version of matplotlib and can coexist with
+SBo's matplotlib package.
+
+NOTES: 1 - If you want to enable the optional subpackages tests
+ and toolkits_tests you need to install Python 3
+ versions of nose and mock before matplotlib. THESE
+ AREN'T YET AVAILABLE AS SLACKBUILDS!
+ To enable the above mentioned subpackages you have to
+ set the variables DISABLE_TESTS and DISABLE_TK_TESTS
+ respectively to "no".
+ toolkits_tests doesn't get installed, if test and/or
+ toolkits are disabled. The installation of toolkits is
+ done automatically.
+
+ 2 - The python-dateutil and pytz dependencies must be
+ compiled with Python 3 support.
