Here are some python plotting engines/libraries:

   Older/not python dedicated:
       * Grace: [[http://plasma-gate.weizmann.ac.il/Grace/|grace]], [[http://www.idyll.org/~n8gray/code|python interface]]
       * PGPLOT: [[http://efault.net/npat/hacks/ppgplot|ppgplot]], [[http://www.astro.caltech.edu/~tjp/pgplot/|pgplot]], [[http://astro.swarthmore.edu/~burns/pygplot/|pygplot]]
       * PLplot: http://www.plplot.org
       * opemath: Written by William Schelter and part of Maxima (thus also Sage) is a TCL/Tk plotting program which allows for interactive viewing. It has no separate download page. An example is this [[http://modular.math.washington.edu/home/wdj/art/saddle.png|saddle]]: {{{sage: maxima.eval("plot3d(2^(-u^2+v^2),[u,-1,1],[v,-1,1],[plot_format, openmath]);")}}}
       * Dislin: [[http://www.mps.mpg.de/dislin/|dislin]], [[http://kim.bio.upenn.edu/~pmagwene/disipyl.html|disipyl]] (a python wrapper for dislin). It's license says dislin is "free for non-commercial use".
       * Pyqwt at http://pyqwt.sourceforge.net/ is a plotting package requiring QT. It seems to have some 3d capabilities http://pyqwt.sourceforge.net/pyqwt3d-examples.html.
   Currently developed / good:
       * matplotlib: http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net
       * Tachyon: http://jedi.ks.uiuc.edu/~johns/raytracer/
   Under active development:
       * Jmol: http://jmol.sourceforge.net/

Sage's plotting functionality is built on top of matplotlib, which is a
very extensive plotting library with a user interface that is very similiar to Matlab's plotting.
The interface that Sage provides to matplotlib is very Mathematica like.

There are also several links to plotting/graphics/data visualization programs at the scipy [[http://www.scipy.org/Topical_Software#head-b98ffdb309ccce4e4504a25ea75b5c806e4897b6|wiki]].
