I'd like to know what the 'list' considers a decent, and fairly easy to learn graphing package. I don't need anything too fancy, just a 2-D line graph package I can plug into python.

Just this week I had to generate a couple of drawings of a deck I am making. I forgot gnuplot exists and, rooting around in the SuSE menu found the Open Office draw program. While it draws in its own format, it exports in many others --- pdf, eps, gif, etc. (I used pdf). I picked it up intuitively right away and was able to get my plan and elevation done in short time. I don't know what you mean by "plug into python" so I am not sure whether Open Office Draw will fill that bill. Hope this helps doug PS I'll not burden the list with an example but, if you want an example, I can easily forward one of those pdf files (or another format if you want to see if that particular one would do your job). Just let me know.
