+    (description
+     "@acronym{APLpy, the Astronomical Plotting Library in Python} is a Python
+module aimed at producing publication-quality plots of astronomical imaging data
+in FITS format.  The module uses @code{matplotlib}, a powerful and interactive
+plotting package.  It is capable of creating output files in several graphical
+formats, including EPS, PDF, PS, PNG, and SVG.
+
+Main features:
+@itemize
+@item Make plots interactively or using scripts
+@item Show grayscale, colorscale, and 3-color RGB images of FITS files
+@item Generate co-aligned FITS cubes to make 3-color RGB images
+@item Make plots from FITS files with arbitrary WCS (e.g. position-velocity)
+@item Slice multi-dimensional FITS cubes
+@item Overlay any number of contour sets
+@item Overlay markers with fully customizable symbols
+@item Plot customizable shapes like circles, ellipses, and rectangles
+@item Overlay ds9 region files
+@item Overlay coordinate grids
+@item Show colorbars, scalebars, and beams
+@item Customize the appearance of labels and ticks
+@item Hide, show, and remove different contour and marker layers
+@item Pan, zoom, and save any view as a full publication-quality plot
+@item Save plots as EPS, PDF, PS, PNG, and SVG
