+Matplotlib strives to produce publication quality 2D graphics for
+interactive graphing, scientific publishing, user interface development
+and web application servers targeting multiple user interfaces and
+hardcopy output formats.  The 'pylab' mode of ipython uses matplotlib
+to emulate matlab graphics.
+
+OPTIONAL DEPENDENCIES: pytest, mock, ffmpeg/avconv, Inkscape,
+                       wxPython3
+
+NOTES: The optional wxagg backend is disabled by default because
+       of possible issues related to wxPython versions. If you wish to
+       use this backend install wxPython3 in advance and set
+       DISABLE_WXAGG to "no" when executing the SlackBuild.
+
+       IMPORTANT: There is some interaction between wxPython and
+                  wxPython3, pay attention to the corresponding
+                  README files.
+
+       If you want to enable the optional subpackages tests and
+       toolkits_tests you need to set the variable ENABLE_TESTS to
+       "yes" when executing the SlackBuild and make sure that pytest,
+       mock, ffmpeg/avconv and Inkscape are already installed. Besides
+       ffmpeg/avconv are also needed if you wish better support of
+       animation output formats.
+
+       Version 2.2.5 is the last available for python2.
