Vizier started as a fork of cairoplot adding multi-page PDF support.
Since then, the project has been written from the ground-up and re-imagined to provide a dead-easy reporting and graphing solution for python using cairo. Notable features include
I'd like to point you to the fine work of the contributors and maintainers of
the CairoPlot project, who sadly have not had time to continue their work. See

Vizier does not yet provide a comparable level of functionality to cairoplot,
whose sources are available here (in a modified form) by checking out the tag
cairoplot-merged.
Note: libcairo >= 1.10.1 recommended, to fix a bug with multi-page PDF clipping. https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24691
Grab a recent version of GTK+, which includes Cairo. You can download an installer here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/gtk-win/files/GTK%2B%20Runtime%20Environment/GTK%2B%202.22/
Now, get vizier. In the root vizier directory, run::
python setup.py install
You should now be able to run one of the examples. Try::
python examples/test1.py
If test1.pdf is created and looks slick, you're ready to go!
See examples/test1.py for code that creates a multi-page PDF.
