The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Can I say Makie and Vegalite is the best pure Julia data visulization library yet?
I haven't heard anything about that. They had their latest release in October, 2021 according to GitHub (but I don't follow it very closely, so maybe they have mentioned somewhere that they are winding down?).

how to visulaise motions and vectors in 3 dimensions?
Just look at this lotenz attractor https://docs.makie.org/stable/

Julia lib to get vector paths of font glyphs?
There does exist some code for reading glyph geometry from fonts - you can find some of it in the Makie source directory: eg https://github.com/MakieOrg/Makie.jl/blob/master/src/bezier.jl - you can see that there's quite a lot though...

SproutLife simulates the evolution of complex life.
Thanks! Looks like the Julia Makie library can do graphics and gui widgets as well -https://github.com/JuliaPlots/Makie.jl

Issue using Gadfly
There was also this recent thread where some folks were talking up Makie.jl, for which there is apparently also a Grammar-of-Graphics-style wrapper called AlgebraOfGraphics.jl.

Plotting in Julia (native packages)
If you're looking for native then Makie.jl is probably your best bet. It's still a little underdocumented and the integrations with the rest of the ecosystem are still incomplete, but it's a pretty amazing plotting library. Fast with easy GPU acceleration, good interactivity and animations (great for making GUIs), and easy to extend.

Zig library for generative images
How tricky or hard would it be to create nice looking plots from that? Something like https://github.com/JuliaPlots/Makie.jl but more low level.
