Prem,
Matplotlib is used for plotting given data. NumPy is used to perform
calculations to produce the data (which, in turn, matplotlib can plot it).
However, you said that you have the equation in a string form. Are you
looking to be able to evaluate any arbitrary parametric equation (given
possibly by user input, perhaps?). If so, then maybe you need to look at
Numexpr which can evaluate a string expression for you and return numpy
arrays of the result.
