loadtxt VS plotters

It really depends on what part of Numpy you're using. You can easily leave Numpy's text parsing in the dust. And if you're doing element-wise operations on arrays, you can easily see 2-3x improvement with just numba.

Amdahl's Law will catch up with you really fast as you add threads with this strategy, but it's simple and is amenable to formats where you may have a delimiter in the middle of a record. For situations where you need maximum scaling and don't have the possibility of delimiters scattered into records, you can use the strategy I used to implement a faster numpy.loadtxt: https://github.com/saethlin/loadtxt/blob/master/src/inner.rs#L84 The general idea is that you divide the file among thread boundaries by splitting it on byte boundaries, then seeking from that byte offset to the end of the next record. This gets you non-interleaved sections so there's no duplicate parsing.

I would also look at plotters https://github.com/plotters-rs/plotters to replace mathplotlib. Unfortunately, I'm not aware of any library for image transformations/augmentations.

Have you looked into plotters https://github.com/plotters-rs/plotters ? I think it should be possible to integrate it into an app.

About plots, besides plotly, take a look at https://github.com/plotters-rs/plotters and https://github.com/milliams/plotlib

I'd recommend plotters, I've only used it for it's drawing api and I found it quite nice for text rendering.

For those who do not know about them, polars is a data frame crate for Rust and Python. It is also the fastest data frame library, according to benchmarks. Plotters is a crate for data visualisation. Both are the equivalents of pandas and matplotlib from the Python ecosystem. However, the integration with matplotlib in pandas has no equivalent. I would like to propose an effort to integrate polars with plotters, either by modifying the existing codebases, or creating a new bridge crate. I would love to hear opinions about this from the widder community.
