matplotlib *used* to require GTK, but not since version 0.2. Note
however, that matplotlib with GTK runs great under windows and is an
easy install. See the Win32 Quickstart Guide at
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/installing.html.
Also, Jeremy O'Donoghue has implemented the matplotlib wx backend, so
you can also use it with wxpython on windows or linux. There is a
development version of the wx backend in the current matplotlib-0.32
version on the sourceforge site, which isn't complete but is working
pretty well. I expect there will be a complete implementation of the
wx backend in about 2 weeks.
Just out of curiosity: I use python on win32 a lot and prefer to
either use the python.org win installer or the enthought edition of
python for windows (which has wx as well as a number of other goodies
preinstalled). Is there a reason you need to be using cygwin for your
python stuff?
