# 3 Producing vector graphics

This chapter provides a systematic description of how Pyxplot can be used to produce general-purpose vector graphics. It also describes how to produce galleries of multiple graphs side-by-side, together with how graphs may be annotated with text or arrows. For more information about how to produce graphical output in various image formats, see Section 2.1. For more information about graph plotting, see Chapter 1.
