GTK and WX should work best working over ssh, and I think GTKCairo, since these should send the drawing commands over X11 rather than the entire raster which the *Agg backends send. We should put this in the backends FAQ, but for now there is some additional relevant info there: http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/faq/installing_faq.html#backends ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
