I am not expert of the DataFrame package. So I cannot tell the downside of DataFrame. However, since DataFrame is a part of the standard library, in my opinion, the support for build-in structures such as AbstractArray should be the priority.
As I know, most functionalities of Gadfly is implemented on DataFrame. An evident drawback is that it's quite complicated to plot matrix columns in separated lines. https://github.com/dcjones/Gadfly.jl/issues/563 On Sunday, August 23, 2015 at 3:53:37 PM UTC+2, Andreas Lobinger wrote: > > > > On Sunday, August 23, 2015 at 1:47:06 PM UTC+2, Sisyphuss wrote: >> >> I hope this package can be based on the data structure `AbstractArray` >> instead of `DataFrame`. >> > > Can you provide some background why and where's the problem with DataFrame > in which plotting package? >
