I can certainly see the benefit. As Mike said, I don't think I would use it
myself, but I could see non-python users finding it useful.
Personally, I think this would be a nice extension that doesn't have to
live in the core matplotlib code base. That way release cycles and testing
can be done
I totally agree with to general opinion that a command line tool would be
beneficial.
I've written a simple mpl commandline plotter quite some time ago and use it
frequently for
quick previews but also to create simple plots for presentations. It features
some options to
modify the appearance

All,
I was brain-storming yesterday and I wanted to test the waters to see
if people would find it useful.
Currently, GNU plotutils comes with command-line utilities such as
`graph` to create quick and dirty line plots like this:
I think this could be very useful -- and might help increase the user
base beyond the Python community. As I, and most of us on this list,
are quite comfortable with Python, I don't think I'd use it myself, but
I certainly see the utility of it.

I also think that would be useful. It would, for example, allow to
generate preview plots from other languages, without interfacing
them to Python. It must be said that MPL is actually quite nice
looking in the default settings for basic plotting, and this is an
nice feature that can exploit.
