SVG development InfoField | This W3C-invalid plot was created with Matplotlib. |
Source code InfoField | Python code#Requires [[:wikipedia:matplotlib|matplotlib]]. Due to a bug in wikipedia's SVG renderer,
#the raw files appear with curves peeking outside of the axes.
#Before uploading the files were touched up by releasing and re-setting the clip paths.
