Installation

pip install whitecanvas -U

Type safety

In whitecanvas, each component is configured separately by with_* methods. This architecture makes function arguments highly consistent and allows you to write type-safe codes.

import numpy as np
from whitecanvas import new_canvas

canvas = new_canvas()  # make a new canvas

# sample data
N = 10
xdata = np.linspace(0, np.pi * 2, N)
ydata = np.sin(xdata)

# add layer
layer = (
    canvas
    .add_line(xdata, ydata, color="blue")
    .with_markers(color="violet", symbol="s")
    .with_edge(color="blue")
    .with_yerr(np.ones(N) / 3, capsize=0.2, color="black")
)

canvas.show()  # show canvas

Backend independency

One of the ultimate goal of whitecanvas is "visualize data everywhere". Currently supported backends are:

• matplotlib
• pyqtgraph
• vispy
• plotly
• bokeh

If you want other backends, please feel free to open an issue.
