- nextos 3y agoThe best plotting APIs I have seen are those from MATLAB and Mathematica. I have used Makie a few times, and it is very flexible and well designed. I am hoping they provide a declarative API that emulates Gadfly more closely. Gadfly is great for simple statistics, sort of a Julia equivalent to ggplot2.
- throwawaymaths 3y agoMatlab and Mathematica are awesome. Gadfly had a great API but suffered greatly from Julia's ttfp problem. Tried makie, looked good but that was around when I left Julia (just because other langs paid). VegaLite is pretty amazing.
- auxym 3y agoMatplotlib is heavily inspired by MATLAB's plotting, no? Its pyplot submodule is a wrapper around the base OO API which is an almost exact clone of matlab.

- nextos 3y agoI know about this. It's heading in the right direction, but still lacks many Gadfly features, let alone ggplot2 ones.
