Just my personal experience from using the library for at least 7-8 years. So many things and concepts are glued onto each other, making the API so much non-intuitive whenever you try to do anything more sophisticated that isn't a 1:1 match from examples found in the cookbook. It's really a PITA and performance, I have to say this again, is really really bad. If this had been part of my daily job I would certainly try to switch to something else.
- jampekka 2y agoPerformance for animation and (custom) interaction is a real problem. But as for performance being "really really bad", there are not many widely used plotting libraries faster than it, at least for static plotting and zoom/pan interaction. There are indeed many ad-hoc functions, typically for commonly used cases, and they tend to cover vast majority of common use case with very simple and concise code. If you want something more custom, the underlying artist API is very flexible. But you probably know this based on the 7-8 years? Things like subplot layouts, data point annotation and legend tweaking can be really painful. Something like a proper box/model CSS layouting would be great.
