# Lets-Plot

[![official JetBrains project](http://jb.gg/badges/official-flat-square.svg)](https://confluence.jetbrains.com/display/ALL/JetBrains+on+GitHub)
[![License MIT](https://img.shields.io/badge/License-MIT-yellow.svg)](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/JetBrains/lets-plot-kotlin/master/LICENSE)
[![Latest Release](https://img.shields.io/github/v/release/JetBrains/lets-plot)](https://github.com/JetBrains/lets-plot/releases/latest)


**Lets-Plot** is a multiplatform plotting library built on the principles of the Grammar of Graphics. 

The library' design is heavily influenced by Leland Wilkinson work [The Grammar of Graphics](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2549408.The_Grammar_of_Graphics) describing the deep features that underlie all statistical graphics.

> This grammar [...] is made up of a set of independent components that can be composed in many different ways. This makes [it] very powerful because you are not limited to a set of pre-specified graphics, but you can create new graphics that are precisely tailored for your problem.
> - Hadley Wickham, "[ggplot2: Elegant Graphics for Data Analysis](https://ggplot2-book.org/index.html)"


## Grammar of Graphics for Python [![Latest Release](https://badge.fury.io/py/lets-plot.svg)](https://pypi.org/project/lets-plot)

A bridge between R (ggplot2) and Python data visualization. \

*Scientific mode* in PyCharm and in IntelliJ IDEA provides support for interactive scientific computing and data visualization.

[*Lets-Plot in SciView*](https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/14379-lets-plot-in-sciview) plugin adds 
support for interactive plotting to IntelliJ-based IDEs with the *Scientific mode* enabled.
 
>
> **Note:** The *Scientific mode* is NOT available in communinty editions of JetBrains IDEs.

## What is new in 4.7.0

- #### Time Series Plotting
  - Support for Python `time` and `date` objects.
  - Support for timezone-aware `datetime` objects and Pandas/Polars `Series`.

  <img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/JetBrains/lets-plot/master/docs/f-25b/images/time_date_datetime.png" alt="f-25b/images/time_date_datetime.png" width="400" height="237">
  
  See [example notebook](https://nbviewer.org/github/JetBrains/lets-plot/blob/master/docs/f-25b/time_date_datetime.ipynb).

- #### Native support for PNG and PDF exports
  Exporting to PNG and PDF formats now uses the `ImageMagick` library bundled with Lets-Plot Python wheels and available out-of-the-box. <br>
  This replaces the previous dependency on the `CairoSVG` library and comes with improved support for LaTeX labels rasterization. <br>

- #### `geom_sina()` Geometry

  <img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/JetBrains/lets-plot/master/docs/f-25b/images/geom_sina.png" alt="f-25b/images/geom_sina.png" width="400" height="276">

  See [example notebook](https://nbviewer.org/github/JetBrains/lets-plot/blob/master/docs/f-25b/geom_sina.ipynb).

- #### `geom_text_repel()` and `geom_label_repel()` Geometries

  <img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/JetBrains/lets-plot/master/docs/f-25b/images/geom_repel.png" alt="f-25b/images/geom_repel.png" width="400" height="232">

  See [example notebook](https://nbviewer.org/github/JetBrains/lets-plot/blob/master/docs/f-25b/ggrepel.ipynb).

- #### `waterfall_plot()` Chart

  - Annotations support via `relative_labels` and `absolute_labels` parameters. <br>
    <img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/JetBrains/lets-plot/master/docs/f-25b/images/waterfall_plot_annotations.png" alt="f-25b/images/waterfall_plot_annotations.png" width="400" height="253">

    See [example notebook](https://nbviewer.org/github/JetBrains/lets-plot/blob/master/docs/f-25b/waterfall_plot_annotations.ipynb).
                                   
  - Support for combining waterfall bars with other geometry layers. <br>
    <img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/JetBrains/lets-plot/master/docs/f-25b/images/waterfall_plot_layers.png" alt="f-25b/images/waterfall_plot_layers.png" width="400" height="227">

    See [example notebook](https://nbviewer.org/github/JetBrains/lets-plot/blob/master/docs/f-25b/waterfall_plot_layers.ipynb).

- #### Continuous Data on Discrete Scales

  Continuous data when used with discrete positional scales is no longer transformed to discrete data. <br>
  Instead, it remains continuous, allowing for precise positioning of continuous elements relative to discrete ones. <br>
  <img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/JetBrains/lets-plot/master/docs/f-25b/images/combo_discrete_continuous.png" alt="f-25b/images/combo_discrete_continuous.png" width="400" height="151">

  See: [example notebook](https://nbviewer.org/github/JetBrains/lets-plot/blob/master/docs/f-25b/numeric_data_on_discrete_scale.ipynb).

> [!TIP]
> New way of handling continuous data on discrete scales could potentially break existing plots.
> If you want to restore a broken plot to its original form, you can use the [`as_discrete()`](https://lets-plot.org/python/pages/api/lets_plot.mapping.as_discrete.html) function to annotate continuous data as discrete.


- #### Plot Layout
  The default plot layout has been improved to better accommodate axis labels and titles. <br>
  Also, new `theme()` options `axis_text_spacing`, `axis_text_spacing_x`, and `axis_text_spacing_y` control spacing between axis ticks and labels. <br>
  <img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/JetBrains/lets-plot/master/docs/f-25b/images/plot_layout_diagram.png" alt="f-25b/images/plot_layout_diagram.png" width="400" height="175">

  See the [plot layout diagram](https://nbviewer.org/github/JetBrains/lets-plot/blob/master/docs/f-25b/plot_layout_scheme.ipynb) showing various layout options and their effects on plot appearance.


- #### And More

  See [CHANGELOG.md](https://github.com/JetBrains/lets-plot/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md) for a full list of changes.
