Description: Chaco is a Python plotting application toolkit that facilitates writing
        plotting applications at all levels of complexity, from simple scripts with
        hard-coded data to large plotting programs with complex data interrelationships
        and a multitude of interactive tools. While Chaco generates attractive static
        plots for publication and presentation, it also works well for interactive data
        visualization and exploration.
        
        Features
        --------
        - **Flexible drawing and layout**: Plots consist of graphical components which
        can be placed inside nestable containers for layout, positioning, and event
        dispatch. Every component has a configurable rendering loop with distinct
        layers and backbuffering. Containers can draw cooperatively so that layers
        span across the containment hierarchy.
        - **Modular and extensible architecture**: Chaco is object-oriented from the
        ground up for ease of extension and customization. There are clear interfaces
        and abstract classes defining extension points for writing your own custom
        behaviors, from custom tools, plot types, layouts, etc. Most classes are
        also "subclass-friendly", so that subclasses can override one or two methods
        and everything else just works.
        - **Data model for ease of extension and embedding**: Chaco separates the data
        from any transformations of the data that are needed for displaying it. This
        separation makes it easier to extend Chaco, or embed it in applications.
        
        Prerequisites
        -------------
        You must have the following libraries installed before building or installing
        Chaco:
        
        * `Numpy <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/numpy/1.1.1>`_ version 1.1.0 or later is
        preferred. Version 1.0.4 will work, but some tests may fail.
        * `setuptools <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools/0.6c8>`_
