Hello,<br>For the last few weeks I have been working on creating a scientific plotting layer that sits on top of cairo.<br>The
reason for this is to create a plotting library comparable to pgplot
that can use cairo's anti-aliasing and font back-ends to make more
attractive plots that have uniform appearance across different output
formats.<br>
<br>The project started as just a back-end for the SPH visualisation tool splash (<a href="http://users.monash.edu.au/%7Edprice/splash/index.html" target="_blank">http://users.monash.edu.au/~dprice/splash/index.html</a>),
because most other plotting libraries are either missing important
features or overly bloated and have far to many dependancies. But now
it has become a project in its own right.<br>
<br>I am planing on releasing the source under the GPL v3 with the name
cpl (cairoplotlib). I just wanted to let you know about this project
as it is highly dependant on cairo.<br><br>If you have suggestions for a better or more appropriate name please let me know<br>
<br>Thank you,<br>James Wetter<br><br>Monash University
