Augplot

Pass Augplot your notebook data and describe what you want to see. Refine the visualization in plain language, then reuse or export the generated Matplotlib or Seaborn code.

Quick start

Augplot supports Python 3.11 through 3.14.

pip install augplot

Configure a supported model and its provider credentials:

export AUGPLOT_MODEL="openai/YOUR_MODEL_ID"
export OPENAI_API_KEY="..."

Then work directly with data already in your notebook:

import augplot as ap

flights = ap.load_sns_dataset("flights")
viz = ap.plot(
    flights,
    prompt="Plot monthly airline passengers over time, with one line per year.",
)
viz.refine(
    "Turn this into a year-by-month heatmap and highlight the busiest month."
)
viz.to_python(function_name="plot_monthly_passengers")

Open or download the example notebook to try the complete workflow.

What can data be?

ap.plot(data) accepts these nonempty, in-memory Python objects:

Nested lists and dictionaries can contain ordinary scalars, missing values, NumPy arrays, and Pandas objects. Parsed JSON is therefore a valid input when its root is a nonempty list or dictionary:

import json

records = json.loads('[{"month": "Jan", "sales": 10}, {"month": "Feb", "sales": 12}]')
viz = ap.plot(records)

results = {
    "baseline": {"test_f1": [0.3, 0.4, 0.5]},
    "candidate": {"test_f1": [0.4, 0.5, 0.6]},
}
viz = ap.plot(results, prompt="Compare F1 scores across models")

Pass the parsed object, not a JSON string or file path. Empty inputs, cyclic containers, custom objects, and NumPy arrays with zero or more than two dimensions raise DataError. For a Pandas Index, another table library, or an iterator, convert to one of the types above first.

Workflow

• plot() generates the initial visualization.
• refine() revises the current version and can be repeated.
• render() applies the current visualization to compatible data without a model call.
• to_python() exports the current version as standalone Matplotlib or Seaborn code.

Only plot() and refine() may call the configured model. Reuse and export stay local:

viz.render(new_data)
viz.figure.savefig("passengers.png", dpi=300)
viz.to_python(function_name="plot_monthly_passengers")

Inspect the current implementation with viz.code. The exported module needs neither Augplot nor provider credentials.

Configuration

Pass options directly to ap.plot():

viz = ap.plot(
    data,
    backend="seaborn",       # auto, matplotlib, or seaborn
    display_format="retina", # retina, png, or svg
    show=True,
)

See the API and workflow reference for all ap.plot() options and inspectable attributes.

Use AUGPLOT_MODEL for the model and AUGPLOT_API_BASE for a custom endpoint. Providers use the credentials expected by LiteLLM. The configured model must support strict JSON Schema responses and be recognized as such by LiteLLM; unsupported combinations raise ConfigurationError before inference.

History

Generated and refined plots are saved in .augplot/plots. Matching steps replay without another model call. Use regenerate=True to request new code or cache_dir=None to disable persistence. See visualization history for the replay rules.

Data and generated code

Augplot sends the configured model a bounded profile of your data, including samples, field names, and statistics. This is not anonymization; sample_rows=0 omits samples but not all schema or summary information.

Generated Python is validated, then runs locally against a copy of the data. Rejected code never runs or saves. This is defense in depth, not an OS sandbox. See generated-code guardrails.

Augplot visualizes supplied data only. It can compute plot-related summaries and trends, but does not train models or return predictions, forecasts, or other analytical artifacts.

Beta and security

Augplot 0.1.1 is a beta release; APIs and saved-history formats may change before 1.0. Review generated code before sensitive or security-critical use, and report vulnerabilities through the security policy.
