Hi everyone. I wanted to let you know about some changes that are happening with the soon-to-be-tagged 0.8 version of Plots. In an attempt to organize the ecosystem and thin out the core of Plots, there are a few relatively new packages, all within the JuliaPlots organization:
PlotUtils.jl: Generic plotting components. For now this includes a redesign of the color handling, as well as the optimize_ticks method from Gadfly. The hope is that eventually several plotting packages can share this dependency, but for now it is only used by Plots. StatPlots.jl: This new package contains: - From Plots: DataFrame support and boxplot, violin, and density recipes - From PlotRecipes: corrplot and marginalhist recipes - Additional: cornerplot (thanks @mauro3) and recipes on Distributions PlotRecipes.jl: All non-core recipes that don't have a better home. For now, there are recipes for: - Graphs (spectral, stress-based, tree, arc/chord diagrams) - Maps (supports Shapefile.jl) - and others Note: *If you want to plot DataFrames, you need to import StatPlots!!* Let me know if you have any questions/concerns. If you create generic recipes that you think others might use, please consider contributing to either StatPlots or PlotRecipes! Best, Tom
