I’m thinking of writing a plotting library (similar to e.g. matplotlib), that calls into an existing, established library (such as matplotlib), and I can use javascript, python, C/C++, or shell. I’m plotting datasets, not functions. I need to be able to plot 2D and 3D. Which libraries should I look at?

I guess I care about

  • feature set
  • how intuitive it is
  • how pretty the graphs are
  • that it’s reasonably fast
    • staircase@programming.devOP

      I’m not looking for an environment (like, say, jupyter). Rather I’m writing something like maptplotlib, by wrapping something like maptplotlib in my own API
