 DESCRIPTION:
 -----------
     pxDislin is an object-oriented wrapper around the DISLIN plotting
 library.  DISLIN is a powerful and flexible multiplatform (Win32,
 Unix, Linux, etc.) library designed for displaying scientific data.
 DISLIN's author, Helmut Michels, has made available a DISLIN plotting
 extension for the Python programming language (see
 http://www.linmpi.mpg.de/dislin/ for more details).

     pxDislin provides a set of classes which represent various aspects
 of DISLIN plots, as well as providing some easy to use classes for
 creating commonly used plot formats (e.g. scatter plots, histograms,
 3-D surface plots).  A major goal in designing the library was to
 facilitate interactive data exploration and plot creation.

     Documentation and a demo program are included.  The library has
 been tested on WinNT and FreeBSD, but I anticipate that it should work
 on any platform which can make use of Python, NumPy, and the DISLIN
 python extensions.

     Feedback, comments, and critique are gladly accepted (email:
 paul.magwene@yale.edu).

 VERSION:
 -------
     This is release 0.3 of pxDislin.

 WHAT'S NEW?
 -----------
 -- Almost complete coverage of useful plot functions in the DISLIN
 library.
 -- Support for legends.
 -- New attribute setting mechanisms to improve functionality in
 interactive seesions.
