+* What is this package?
+
+PyChart is a Python library for creating professional quality PS, PDF,
+PNG, or SVG charts.  It supports line plots, bar plots, range-fill
+plots, and pie charts.  Because it is based on Python, you can make
+the full use of Python's scripting power.
+
+The PyChart home page is at 
+http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Yasushi_Saito/pychart
+
+* What you need
+
+You need Python (http://www.python.org) version 2.2 or later (on
+Debian GNU/Linux, you need, python-xml package as well). You also need
+Ghostscript (http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/) to produce PNG
+files. 
+
+	Pychart used to require Ghostscript during PS and PDF
+	generation to obtain font metric information, but that's no
+	longer the case.
+
+* Platforms supported
+
+In theory, PyChart works on any platform with Python.  In practice,
+I've run PyChart on Linux and Win2000.
+
+* Installation
+
+Become a root and do:
+
+	# python setup.py install
+
+Or, you can set PYTHONPATH environment variable before you start
+Python. For example (in bash):
+
+% PYTHONPATH=~/PyChart-1.33/pychart python mumbo.py
+
+* Documentation
+
+A detailed documentation is found in doc/pychart.
+
+* Examples
+
+All the *.py files in the demos/ directory can be run directly. For
+example,
+
+    setenv PYTHONPATH ..
+    python linetest.py >foo.eps
+    gs foo.eps
+
+or
+
+    setenv PYTHONPATH ..
+    setenv PYCHART_OPTIONS="format=pdf"
+    python linetest.py >foo.pdf
+    acroread foo.pdf

+* About the author
+
+Yasushi Saito (ysaito@hpl.hp.com), a full-time researcher and
+part-time hacker. This program is created mainly to serve my personal
+needs to write pretty charts for research papers. As such, it is
+updated only when I'm writing a paper, which happens about once every
+half year or so.
+
+Anyway, if you have comments, requests, or (even better)
+fixes/enhancements, feel free to email me.
