+
+This is a Julia wrapper of the PyX plotting and TeX graphics library from
+Python.
+
+It is a work in progress, broken, and will set your computer on fire.
+
+## Example
+
+```
+using PyX
+
+g = graph.graphxy(width=8)
+plot(graph_data_function("y(x)=sin(x)/x", min=-15, max=15))
+writeEPSfile(g, "function")
+writePDFfile(g, "function")
+writeSVGfile(g, "function")
+```
+
+## Install
+
+There are no installation instructions.
+
+## Notes and Caveats
+
+PyX >= 0.13 (2013) is Python3 only. PyX <= 0.12.1 is Python2.
+
+Instead of Python's `None`, use Julia's `nothing`.
+
+`graph_data.function` won't work in Julia because `function` is a reserved
+word. Use `graph_data_function` instead.
+
+Also check the TODO file.

+- lots of temporary files (.log, .dvi, etc) get left around. need to somehow
+  tell python to exit cleanly at the end, and maybe also use a different
+  temporary directory.
+- an array of tuples doesn't seem to get converted correctly? eg,
+  zip(1:10, 1:10)
+- create native "PyxGraph", "PyxCanvas" types
+- integration of SVG renders into, eg, Jupyter. Python3 only.
+- python2 vs. python3 versions of PyX
