This is a repost of a port of the PyX Python graphics creation library at:

  http://tratt.net/laurie/obsd/ports/py-pyx.tar.gz  

>From the blurb:

  PyX is a Python package for the creation of PostScript and PDF files. It
  combines an abstraction of the PostScript drawing model with a TeX/LaTeX
  interface. Complex tasks like 2d and 3d plots in publication-ready quality
  are built out of these primitives.

Basically, it creates graphics, and farms them out to TeX for rendering
(with all the associated goodies that implies). The results it produces are
of excellent quality, particularly when compared to the often rather random
output from py-matplotlib.

Tested on amd64 and i386, both -current. Many thanks to Eric Faurot who put
a lot of work into tracking down a nasty bug in PyX. I think this port has
received enough testing that it can now be put into ports.
