• Vega-Altair: Declarative Visualization in Python
  9 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 25 Feb 2024

  I love Vega(-lite) / Altair, the grammar of graphics plotting system is really great to build any kind of chart even when it wasn't thought through by the authors of the library. There are other wrappers for languages that lack viz libraries, such as Elixir / Livebook [0]

  However, when I used it a couples years back it struggled with large vizs, I think due to Vega(-lite)'s way of embedding the data in the viz artifact.

  Also, interactive is nice but often I just need a quick static plot, and matplotlib is more convenient for this, you can easily see the png in any environment etc.

  These days I'm eager to see an Observable Plot [1] wrapper for Python !

  Good questions.

  1. It’s just JavaScript so you can fetch stuff dynamically too (see https://observablehq.com/framework/lib/duckdb). But yeah, only client-side. (Though see https://github.com/observablehq/framework/issues/234.)

  2. Sure, it’s all open source, I bet you could make that work. Or `yarn deploy` to Observable and configure sharing there (though it wouldn’t let you charge others).

  3. Yup. Which is part of the appeal of model of running data loaders at build time: you can query some private data and viewers would only be able to see the final result set. (The lack of something like this has always been a huge problem for Observable notebooks. You’d make some great query-driven charts and then couldn’t make it public without some awkward manual dance of downloading and re-uploading a file to a fork of the notebook.)

  4. I wish I knew! It’s being tracked here https://github.com/observablehq/plot/issues/1711. Lately there’s been a lot more work on Framework naturally but now that that’s out…

  5. Another good question. We’re definitely interested in tailoring it more to this sort of use case but lots is TBD!

  Observable Plot [0] is also nice. AFAIU it's the same library powering the visualizations within Observable itself.
