I wonder where this is going and if python+numpy+scipy+matplotlib will one day be replaced by tools written in javascript.
I think it is more likely that some Python library which outputs javascript code in addition to still images will starting to replace matplotlib. Or matplotlib evolves to have that capability itself.
How well does plot.ly do with plain old equation plotting? In particular, I'm looking for something that can produce mobile friendly plots that scales diagrams automatically to show relevant features (x, y intercepts, inflection points, etc) for simple function families - y= mx + b, ax^2 + bx + c, etc. Any suggestions on available libraries, or am I better to start from scratch on this?
You could compute a few [x,y] values for an equation y=f(x) and plot them using any line chart plotting library
