'''PyX''' is a [[Python (programming language)|Python]] package for the creation of [[PostScript]]<ref>John, Maxin B., "Generating Postscript graphs using PyX" http://linuxgazette.net/145/john2.html</ref>, [[PDF]], and static [[Scalable Vector Graphics|SVG]] 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<ref>https://pyx-project.org/</ref>. Its goals are similar to those of other metalanguages for PDF drawing, such as [[TikZ]] or [[Asymptote (vector graphics language)|Asymptote]].
PyX is licensed under the [[GNU_General_Public_License |GNU GPL]] version 2. It was originally the graphics library for [[Pyxplot]]. Although Pyxplot no longer depends directly on Pyx, it continues to incorporate substantial pieces of the PyX codebase.
