Welcome!

Welcome to Toyplot, the kid-sized plotting toolkit for Python with grownup-sized goals:

• Develop beautiful interactive, animated plots that embrace the unique capabilities of electronic publishing and support reproducibility.
• Create the best possible data graphics “out-of-the-box”, maximizing data ink and minimizing chartjunk.
• Provide a clean, minimalist interface that scientists and engineers will love.
