+Veusz - A Scientific Plotting Package
+
+Veusz is a GUI scientific plotting and graphing package.
+It is designed to produce publication-ready Postscript or PDF output.
+SVG, EMF and bitmap export formats are also supported.
+
+The program runs under Unix/Linux, Windows or Mac OS X, and binaries are provided.
+Data can be read from text, CSV, HDF5 or FITS files.
+In addition, you can also enter, manipulate or examine data from within the application.
+In Veusz plots are created by building up plotting widgets with a consistent object-based interface.
+The program also provides a command line and scripting interface (based on Python) to its plotting facilities
+ It can also act as a Python plotting module.
+Veusz is written in Python. Its user interface uses PyQt and Numpy is used to manipulate data.
+
+The hdf5 library is needed only if you want to use HDF5 files.
