Box zoom would need to be added to Vega-Lite first, and there has been some discussion around it in https://github.com/vega/vega-lite/issues/4742 . Bottom line is that there's noth…

(a current Altair maintainer and a former plotly.py maintainer here) Plotly is definitely a great option as well, and it can do a bunch of things Vega-Altair is not designed for. O…

(Disclaimer: I'm a Vega-Altair maintainer) Thanks for the feedback and for the kind words! All of these drawbacks are fair, just a couple of comments. There is an experimental pack…

Image export before Altair 5 was a bit complicated because it required either selenium plus a system web browser, or a node.js installation. In Altair 5, we switched to using vl-co…

I wrote a niche library that uses the Deno project to embed a JavaScript runtime+library in Rust, and then expose it as a zero-dependency Python library.

VegaFusion author here. Happy to answer questions if anyone is interested in learning more!

Hi All, let me know if you have any questions about the new release (or anything else). The tech behind the new static image export support is pretty interesting. It's the only sta…

I spent hours a day juggling for ~4 years in my mid teens (in my 30s now) and got up to juggling 8 balls. I find numbers juggling (say 5 or more) to be almost therapeutic. It requi…

Do you have ipywidgets >= 7.2 installed (See install instruction at https://github.com/plotly/plotly.py )? ipywidgets is an optional dependency and FigureWidget won't be available …

Rock solid export of high-quality static images is really important to me too. Fortunately the hard part is already done (in orca). Integrating orca into plotly.py is the very next…

Yes! You use the trace.on_selection method to register a callback function. Here's an example: https://github.com/jonmmease/plotly_ipywidget_notebooks/blob...

Actually, you don't need to sink any investment into a commercial ecosystem here! plotly.py and the plotly.js rendering library are both MIT licensed, developed in the open on GitH…

Cool! Here are a few ways to get the interactive visualizations elsewhere (outside of the notebook). 1) You can save them to a standalone, self-contained, html file: See https://co…

Thanks! Yeah, I should have clarified that I meant in 2D. ipyvolume is super impressive, and I didn't know you were working on bringing some of that webgl goodness to bqplot. Very …

BTW, I got a GitHub notification of a comment that you were having trouble installing it. But I can't find the comment in GitHub itself.

Sure thing! But full disclosure, I wasn't actually involved in any of the versions of plotly.py before 3.0.0 :-) Hopefully 3.0.0 will be even more fun!

I haven't looked into this specifically. Using the FigureWidget approach in 3.0.0 doesn't actually require the current @jupyterlab/plotly-extension. It's all contained in the new p…

Hi HN, This is Jon from the release announcement. AMA!
