lets-plot 4.6.0a1

An open source library for statistical plotting

Lets-Plot

Lets-Plot is a multiplatform plotting library built on the principles of the Grammar of Graphics.

The library' design 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.
