Prettyplotlib: Painlessly create beautiful matplotlib plots
- Choronzon 13y agoSlightly off topic but the matplotlib interface always annoyed the hell out of me. The pyplot wrapper meant that there are effectively two ways to do any visualisation,which breaks python "zen" pretty badly ("There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it"). Visualisation is one area where R with ggplot really eats pythons lunch.If anybody has the inclination I would recommend looking into https://github.com/wrobstory/vincent https://github.com/wrobstory/vincent and https://github.com/ContinuumIO/Bokeh https://github.com/ContinuumIO/Bokeh Vincent is a wrapper for a wrapper(vega!) for d3 and works nicely even though its only on version 0.2. Bokeh seems less "user friendly" and finished but it has good funding and Peter Wang who really understands scientific computing behind it so I would bet on it for the long run.
