lets-plot 3.1.0rc1

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 Kernel.

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

Lets-Plot for Kotlin at GitHub: https://github.com/JetBrains/lets-plot-kotlin.

"Lets-Plot in SciView" plugin

Scientific mode in PyCharm and in IntelliJ IDEA provides support for interactive scientific computing and data visualization.

Lets-Plot in SciView plugin adds support for interactive plotting to IntelliJ-based IDEs with the Scientific mode enabled.

Note: The Scientific mode is NOT available in communinty editions of JetBrains IDEs.

What is new in 3.0.0

• Breaking Changes

  • Python 3.6 is no longer supported as it is in the "end-of-life" release cycle stage.

  • geom_livemap() is now a pure basemap layer. The following options are no longer supported: symbol, data, mapping, map, map_join, ontop, stat, position, show_legend, sampling, tooltips, geodesic.

To draw point and pie markers on map, please, use the geom_point() and geom_pie() geometry layers.

See: example notebook.

In place of the former geodetic parameter in geom_livemap please use the new parameter flat in path and segment geometry layers.

See: example notebook.
