In plain words

MPLG is a visual design tool for creating matplotlib plots without writing code. Users drag and arrange plot elements through a graphical interface, then export their designs as Python code. It's aimed at Python developers and data analysts who want to build visualizations quickly or learn matplotlib syntax by example. The tool bridges the gap between visual design and code-based plotting libraries.

  • Turn your Pandas dataframe into a Tableau-style UI for visual analysis2023 · github.com · ▲712

    Hey, guys. I've just made a plugin which turns your pandas dataframe into a tableau-style component. It allows you to explore the dataframe with easy drag-and-drop UI. You can use PyGWalker in Jupyter, Google Colab, or even Kaggle Notebook to easily explore your data and generate interactive visualizations. PyGWalker (pronounced like "Pig Walker", just for fun) is named as an abbreviation of "Python binding of Graphic Walker". Here are some links to check it out: The Github Repo: https://github.com/Kanaries/pygwalker Use PyGWalker in Kaggle:…

    I do lots of data analyses in the command-line and I was missing a simple utility to plot the output of a command (without having to script it). I like very much the Matplotlib API but I found no CLI to pipe data into it. So, I wrote MatplotCLI, a simple CLI that reads data from the stdin and allows to easily create interactive plots from the command-line. Have a look at the README for examples and recipes. Let me know what you think, thanks! Some examples: $ plt "hist(x,30)" < sample.json $ cat sample.json | plt --no-show "hist(x,30); savefig('myimage.png')" $ plt --no-input " x =…

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
