Re: [julia-users] Re: ANN: PLplot.jl

I like your approach and the idea of separating interface from library. This interface allows us to plot more easily, which is very handy when we are doing data exploration. Please go on and keep me updated ! On Monday, August 24, 2015 at 5:37:23 PM UTC+2, Tom Breloff wrote: > > Sisyphuss: T

Re: [julia-users] Re: ANN: PLplot.jl

I quite agree with Tom, various data interfaces are could be easily implemented it has nothing to do with underling plotting routines. @Tom In light of RFC: unify plotting packages under a common organization , it would be a good effort to descri

Re: [julia-users] Re: ANN: PLplot.jl

Sisyphuss: This is the approach I have taken with Qwt.jl: `plot(rand(100,5))` will plot 5 lines, `plot(rand(100,2), colors=[:red,:blue])` will plot 2 lines (red/blue), 'subplot(rand(100,4))` will create a 2x2 grid of subplots, one for each column, etc. This interface has nothing to do with Qwt..

Personally, I would like the following functionality: 1) `plot(X)`, where `X` is a high-dimension array, to plot each column of `X` on a single canvas (Matlab syntax); 2) `plot(X, c("red", "green", "blue"))` to plot each column with different color (the color vector is broadcast) (R syntax). O

[julia-users] Re: ANN: PLplot.jl

Essentially, both packages have very similar set of functions - various 2D and 3D plots, handling axes, views & text. But PLplot is one binary library compiled on many platforms, in opposite to matlibplot which is a big suite of python libraries (in Julia case add a PyCall & PyPlot wrappers). O

[julia-users] Re: ANN: PLplot.jl

PLplot cannot use new colors, except predefined before initialization, during plotting. This makes usage of Compose (primitives drawing backend package for Gadfly) somewhat hard because information about primitive colors appear as as you parse plot structure. Moreover, PLplot has large collecti

[julia-users] Re: ANN: PLplot.jl

Hello, Thank you for your work. Could you give me an idea of the pros and cons of PLplot versus Matplotlib? Cheers, Daniel. On Sunday, 23 August 2015 06:34:38 UTC+2, wil...@gmail.com wrote: > > Hi all, > > I've started working on a Julia PLplot wrapper >

[julia-users] Re: ANN: PLplot.jl

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 implem

I hope this package can be based on the data structure `AbstractArray` instead of `DataFrame`. On Sunday, August 23, 2015 at 6:34:38 AM UTC+2, wil...@gmail.com wrote: > > Hi all, > > I've started working on a Julia PLplot wrapper > . PLplot is a powerful >
