I just found this plotting library by JetBrains that has a grammar of graphics interface (like plotnine). This will make a nice alternative for matplotlib for my research.
I’ve never liked the Python ggplot-like alternatives. The plot construction always felt limited and I’d run into weird bugs. However, this looks the closest to ggplot in how the plots are constructed. I dislike R but the tidy verse + ggplot combo is just so good. I end up using Python and r together a lot, so having even a half decent ggplot-python could be great. Has anyone with significant ggplot experience used this and can comment on how close it really is?
I’ve only played around with it for a few hours, but I’m already happier than using matplotlib or my rpy2 bridge to ggplot2.
Will def check this out! It’s hard to be pandas for data formatting and ggplot for visualizing so interested to see how it compares.
