*******************
Toolkits are collections of application-specific functions that extend matplotlib.
.. _toolkit_basemap:
Basemap
=======
Plots data on map projections, with continental and political
boundaries, see `basemap <http://matplotlib.sf.net/basemap/doc/html>`_
docs.
.. _toolkit_gtk:
GTK Tools
=========
mpl_toolkits.gtktools provides some utilities for working with GTK.
This toolkit ships with matplotlib, but requires `pygtk
<http://www.pygtk.org/>`_.
.. _toolkit_excel:
Excel Tools
===========
mpl_toolkits.exceltools provides some utilities for working with
Excel. This toolkit ships with matplotlib, but requires
`pyExcelerator <http://sourceforge.net/projects/pyexcelerator>`_
.. _toolkit_natgrid:
Natgrid
========
mpl_toolkits.natgrid is an interface to natgrid C library for gridding
irregularly spaced data. This requires a separate installation of the
natgrid toolkit from the sourceforge `download
<http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=80706&package_id=142792>`_
page.
.. _toolkit_mplot3d:
mplot3d
===========
mpl_toolkits.mplot3d provides some basic 3D plotting (scatter, surf,
line, mesh) tools. Not the fastest or feature complete 3D library out
there, but ships with matplotlib and thus may be a lighter weight
solution for some use cases.
See :ref:`toolkit_mplot3d-index` for more documentation and examples.
.. _toolkit_axes_grid:
AxesGrid
========
The matplotlib AxesGrid toolkit is a collection of helper classes to
ease displaying multiple images in matplotlib. The AxesGrid toolkit is
distributed with matplotlib source.
