-Description: Scientific Graphics and GUI Library (Python 2)
- PyQtGraph is a pure-python graphics and GUI library built on PyQt4 and numpy. 
- It is intended for use in mathematics / scientific / engineering applications. 
- Despite being written entirely in python, the library is very fast due to its 
- heavy leverage of numpy for number crunching and Qt's GraphicsView framework 
- for fast display.
- .
- This is the Python 2 version of the package.
