lets-plot 2.5.1rc1

An open source library for statistical plotting

Lets-Plot

Lets-Plot is an open-source plotting library for statistical data.

The design of Lets-Plot library is heavily influenced by Leland Wilkinson work The Grammar of Graphics describing the deep features that underlie all statistical graphics.

This grammar [...] is made up of a set of independent components that can be composed in many different ways. This makes [it] very powerful because you are not limited to a set of pre-specified graphics, but you can create new graphics that are precisely tailored for your problem.

• Hadley Wickham, "ggplot2: Elegant Graphics for Data Analysis"

We provide ggplot2-like plotting API for Python and Kotlin users.

Lets-Plot for Python

A bridge between R (ggplot2) and Python data visualization.

Learn more about Lets-Plot for Python installation and usage at the documentation website: https://lets-plot.org.

Lets-Plot for Kotlin

Lets-Plot for Kotlin adds plotting capabilities to scientific notebooks built on the Jupyter Kotlin Kermel.

You can use this API to embed charts into Kotlin/JVM and Kotlin/JS applications as well.
