Where I work is a conservative group of math and computer geeks, so while a normal eye candy would work, but would not be appreciated by management, so I have found the following works okay:

These are from matplotlib http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/

I hope to post some examples of matplotlib generated from Python in the near future.  I have some orbital paths go generated for school, and I may try that in Python/Numpy.
