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.

Seeking library recommendation for 3D visualization of crystal structure
Two similar alternatives you could look at are PyVista which is based on the same framework as Mayavi and VisPy. Mayavi is strongly dependent on the whole Enthought suite which can be a disadvantage if you don’t really use its abilities.

Show HN: MPL Plotter – Python library to make technical plots more efficiently
2. I recommend Datashader (https://datashader.org/) (HoloViz is super cool) and Vispy (https://vispy.org/). I found Vispy's documentation a bit lacking some time ago, but they probably have improved it since then, and it's very capable. Lastly, check Taichi (https://taichi.graphics/), might not be a conventional data representation library (or rather, not only), but it's amazing and worth a look.
To add some more depth to the Seaborn comparison, and not being an expert Seaborn user, I'd say:
1. MPL Plotter is lighter (but also with less wide-ranging plot options)

Where to find a dynamic charge density animation/simulation?
I will think more about what I want to say next, but for now, I would like to say that I need the super-particles and PIC methods as I think that is the way forward for me. Are there ways to implement these methods in matplotlib, Visit or Paraview? Do I take existing code and import it into those programs to visualize it? Or can I directly program/simulate something in those visualizion tools without needing to import any code?
What are some alternatives?
