One of the big bottlenecks of plotting libraries is simply the time it takes to import the library. I’ve seen matplotlib being slow to import, and in Julia they even have a “time to first plot” metric. I’d be curious to see how this library compares.
but we haven't benchmarked it yet
Is it possible to put the interactive plots on your website? Or is this a Jupyter notebook only tool.
As Caitlin pointed out below pyodide is a future goal.
Very cool effort. That said, and it's probably because of the kind of work that I do, but I have almost never found the four challenges to be any kind of a problem for me. Although I do think there is some kind of contradiction there. Plotting (exploratory data analyis ("EDA"), really) is all about distilling key insights and finding features hidden in data. But you have to some kind of intuition about where the need…
My hot take is that 3D plotting feels bad because 3D plots are bad. You can usually find some alternative way of representing the data
Very cool to see imgui empowering so many different things.

Every two weeks or so I peruse github looking for something like this and I have to say this looks really promising. In statistical genetics we make really big scatterplots called Manhattan plots https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manhattan_plot and we have to use all this highly specialized software to visualize at different scales (for a sense of what this looks like: https://my.locuszoom.org/gwas/236887/ ). Excited to…
"Fast" is a bold claim, given the complete lack of benchmarks and the fact that it's written entirely in Python...

See here: https://www.fastplotlib.org/ver/dev/user_guide/faq.html#what... We are hoping for pyodide integration soon, which would allow fastplotlib to be run strictly in the browser!
Seems like a nice library, but I have a hard time seeing myself using it over plotly. The plotly express API is just so simple and easy. For example, here's the docs for the histogram plot: https://plotly.com/python/histograms/ This code gives you a fully interactive, and performant, histogram plot: ```python import plotly.express as px df = px.data.tips() fig = px.histogram(df, x="total_bill") fig.show() ```
Sounds really compelling. But it doesn't seem to answer how it works in Jupyter notebooks, or if it does at all. Is the GPU acceleration done "client-side" (JavaScript?) or "server-side" (in the kernel?) or is there an option for both? Because I've used supposedly fast visualization libraries in Google Colab before, but instead of updating at 30 fps, it takes 2 seconds to update after a click, because after the new i…
Fastplotlib definitely works in Jupyterlab through jupyter-rfb https://github.com/vispy/jupyter_rfb I believe the performance is pretty decent, especially if you run the kernel locally Their docs also cover this as mentioned by @clewis7 below: https://www.fastplotlib.org/ver/dev/user_guide/faq.html#what...
