I tried to quantify some of these smallness vs expressivity tradeoffs in visualization libraries here, with some interesting conclusions IMO: https://notascope.io

It's a good question! I think I'd look at this through the lens of the Cognitive Dimensions of Notations, specifically the dimensions of 'consistency' and 'viscosity' (i.e. is the same thing literally called `t

This isn't literature per se but I worked on a machine-learning database system (MLDB) which supported tables with millions of columns... We extended SQL's SELECT statement with some functionality to deal with querying by pattern

Author here... it pretty much is fanboi stuff, yes :) And sure, there are flaws in Apple's naming scheme as well as things I love.

I like it! Do the positions of the teams in the squares mean anything? It might be nice to have the teams laid out with two on top (rotated 45 degrees) with the top two being the current point leaders?

We've got a number of solutions in Python that rival Shiny IMO: Dash, Voilà, Panel, Streamlit, new stuff like Mercury etc :) There's a neat overview of the landscape here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4a-Db1zhTEw

What are your thoughts on PlotlyJS.jl? https://plotly.com/julia/

Plotly Express author here: yes, seems very similar! I approve! I've been toying with the idea of building what I had been calling "Vega Express" for a while, but now it looks like I don't need to ;)

Dash (by Plotly) doesn't "convert" Python scripts, no, it works in a similar way to Lona: there is a Javascript frontend that communicates with the Python backend and the Python functions (callbacks) are executed directly.

Dash also can be hosted on local infrastructure and in fact does no "translation", it's also using a complex Javascript front-end that abstracts away the HTTP conversation from the Python end :)

Try it and see :)

Should be easy to try! My expectation is that the TSP approach would recover the original image unless you added a lot of noise to it. Adjacent rows will still end up extremely similar to each other.

Ouch. That definitely doesn't happen any more since v4 came out two years ago.

by nicolaskruchten 5y ago
They already are! Features land in Plotly.js first before being integrated into Plotly.py :)

I'd love to hear more about what you found fussy in terms of shape of data... I've worked really hard to make Plotly Express as flexible as possible in terms of input formats ( https://plotly.com/python/px-argu

Plotly.py is MIT-licensed and totally free for anyone for any purpose :)

Many years ago, indeed it was, but now you can use it and rest easy that your data isn't transiting through our servers unless you install the chart_studio module as well.

This is definitely out of date! As of version 4.0, released two years ago, Plotly is "offline/local by default". Check out our docs: https://plotly.com/python/is-plotly-free/#can-i-use-plotly-f...

In this case it's intentional: highlighting divergence from the global average :)

The next version of plotly should be more compatible with Pyodide :)

by nicolaskruchten 5y ago
Hehe, nope! We'd discussed it a few times, but never got around to it :)

If you're familiar with Plotly Express in Python, this is like a Javascript API with similar feel. It's a lot less verbose than the equivalent raw Plotly.js code.

We've finally (!) gotten around to updating this page, thanks to your gentle nudge ;)
