new Python wrapper to GTK3 and acts as a pure python alternative to
PyGObject. pgi still exists in its infancy, currently missing many
features of PyGObject. However Matplotlib does not use any of these
missing features.</dd>
<dt id="term-pygobject">PyGObject</dt>

<dt id="term-raster-graphics">raster graphics</dt>
<dd><a class="reference external" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raster_graphics">Raster graphics</a>, or bitmaps,
represent an image as an array of pixels which is resolution
dependent. Raster graphics are generally most practical for
photo-realistic images, but do not scale easily without loss of
quality.</dd>

and many other dynamic languages. It can produce rich, native
applications that run unchanged across Windows, Mac OS X, Linux
and more.</dd>
<dt id="term-vector-graphics">vector graphics</dt>
<dd><a class="reference external" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector_graphics">vector graphics</a> use geometrical
primitives based upon mathematical equations to represent images
in computer graphics. Primitives can include points, lines,
curves, and shapes or polygons. Vector graphics are scalable,
which means that they can be resized without suffering from
issues related to inherent resolution like are seen in raster
graphics. Vector graphics are generally most practical for
typesetting and graphic design applications.</dd>
<dt id="term-wxpython">wxpython</dt>
<dd><a class="reference external" href="https://www.wxpython.org/">wxpython</a> provides python wrappers
for the <a class="reference internal" href="#term-wxwidgets"><span class="xref std std-term">wxWidgets</span></a> library for use with the WX and WXAgg
backends. Widely used on linux, OS-X and windows, it is often
packaged by linux distributions as 'python-wxgtk'</dd>
<dt id="term-wxwidgets">wxWidgets</dt>
<dd><a class="reference external" href="http://www.wxwidgets.org/">WX</a> is cross-platform GUI and
tools library for GTK, MS Windows, and MacOS. It uses native
widgets for each operating system, so applications will have the
look-and-feel that users on that operating system expect.</dd>
