For random, quick and dirty, ad-hoc plotting tasks my default is GNUPlot[1].
Otherwise I tend to use either Python with matplotlib, or R with ggplot2.
I keep saying I'm going to invest the time to properly learn D3[4] or something similar for doing web-based plotting, but somehow never quite seem to find time to do it. sigh

- trws 3y agoThis is almost exactly my list, except that I’ve pretty much stopped using gnuplot and mostly use plotnine (the new name for the python port of ggplot2) as a replacement for matplotlib’s interface. Interfaces implementing the grammar of graphics like ggplot2 and plotnine make exploring different plot types and ways to present data.
- aborsy 3y agoThere is limited support and small community online for Gnuplot. You may find it difficult to fine tune your plot.
- commonlisp94 3y agoThere is a detailed PDF manual that explains every feature concisely, you just can't google for the answers.
