Rayon is a Python library and set of tools for generating basic two-dimensional statistical visualizations. Rayon can be used to automate reporting; provide data visualization in command-line, GUI or web applications; or do ad-hoc exploratory data analysis.
Rayon can generate visualizations in PDF, PNG, SVG and PostScript formats using Pycairo. It can also be used in wxPython GUI applications.
Rayon is compatible with Python versions 2.6 and greater, and requires netsa-python and at least one of Pycairo (for static output) or wxPython (for GUI output).
