Multiplex: visualizations that tell stories
Project description
Multiplex
Multiplex is a Python library that builds on matplotlib, providing new visualizations to help you explore your data and explain it better.
Creating narrative-driven visualizations involves re-imagining matplotlib's plots. Multiplex follows best-practices to help you create visualizations. The library adds the capability to add a description to visualizations and moves the legend to the top.
In addition, Multiplex includes:
- A brand new text visualization modul to create text graphics or to annotate data anywhere on the plot,
- A brand new graph visualization,
- New matplotlib styles to make your data stand out.
The instructions in this README.md file will get you a copy of the project up and running. For use-cases of Multiplex, check out the Jupyter Notebook examples in the examples directory. To read more about Multiplex, read the documentation.
