plotnine VS DearPyGui

To your last point, have you tried plotnine? It's meant to be ggplot2 for python.

plotnine - A grammar of graphics for Python based on ggplot2.

This seems quite similar to plotnine [0], which also provides a grammar of graphics interface for Python. That said, I love ggplot and I can't wait to use this in my research! I hope we can port/re-implement ggthemes, scientificplots [1], and other ggplot libraries for lets-plot.

There is [plotnine](https://plotnine.readthedocs.io/en/stable/) which tries to implement ggplot in Python.

You could use plotnine if you like the grammar of graphics concept: https://plotnine.readthedocs.io/en/stable/

> Python doesn’t yet have anything remotely close to ggplot for rapidly making exploratory graphics, for example.

Plug for plotnine (https://plotnine.readthedocs.io/en/stable/). I don't know R but use ggplot indirectly through this library for exploratory data analysis, and comparing the experience to any other python plotting library, I understand why R folks are usually so sad to be using Python.

For native GUI, DearPyGui[0] as modern as you can.

For browser web-based GUI, you can use nicegui[1]

If it's just to align text in the centre or to the right of a box, you could use a button and, by using theming, hide the fact that it's a button. https://github.com/hoffstadt/DearPyGui/issues/1111

Personally, i like PyQt or PySide they have basically everything you need to make a proper app or even simple apps, but there is another DearPyGui this is basically python version of imgui the c++ library, it provides some good customization options and can be used for simple or complex projects too, their discord is also very helpful.

There are some examples in the showcase as well. https://github.com/hoffstadt/DearPyGui/wiki/Dear-PyGui-Showcase

I'm a big fan of DearPyGUI

Use a button and set width of the button equal to the width of the window. Using theming to set the button text alignment to center. A comparable solution, for aligning to the right, can be found here. https://github.com/hoffstadt/DearPyGui/issues/1111

I was using PyQt5/PySide which will give you a nice native look but I eventually shifted over to DearPyGui for most of my smaller utilities. Its just faster for me. You will get more options and freedom with PyQt/PySide though and can use QT Designer to design your interfaces pretty easily.
