For things run on a reasonably-sized problem, matplotlib (using either h5py to read hdf5, pyvtk to read vtk, or petsc4py to read PETSc's binary format) makes publishable plots.

Using petsc4py for reading PETSc binary formats is overkill. All this
can be done with just NumPy. Should PETSc ship some Python code to
read IS's, Vec's, Mat's in binary format? Can any of you suggest an
appropriate location in the source tree?
