Dash is really the go-to library if you want to build some complex, flexible dashboards. I found for highly customized dashboards it's a lot easier just to program your own instead of squeezing Tableau's rules.
Plotly is fantastic - great to see another release. Have been using it to integrate charts into Oracle Application Express (APEX), which works really well, and provides for much more interactive data visualizations over the built-in APEX charts.
I'm a data analyst/engineer and I'm not very good at visualisations as they haven't been that important at my jobs. I know it sounds a bit weird. Recently I've been trying to make a Plotly-Dash report/webtool that will enable bidirectional flow of data. So far I haven't been able to get plotly running on Jupyter. The examples I've seen so far have been amazing. I wish I could make it work. Hopefully the latest version will help me produce plots inside Jupyter notebook for testing purposes.
Icicle chart uses a divergent colormap when it should probably use a sequential one.
Sometimes I wish I never saw that one talk
I used plotly in its earlier versions for my research. So glad they continue to develop it.
Related: Some time ago I remember reading that Plotly sent the data back to plotly’s servers. Is that old news / is there fully-local plotting now?
Congratulations, this looks a really nice release!
I'm wearing the Plotly t-shirt I got at PyCon UK years ago and it's started a few conversations. It's the best-fitting branded t-shirt I've had - if you have any left and want to send me another :)
What do people here think of plotly when compared to matplotlib? I've read through some of the api documentation and have created graphs with the latter, but don't have much experience with plotly.
Love the Icicle charts.
Anyone know if they will become available in Ploty.js?
I can attest first hand to how great Plotly is. I'm building Mito[1], an interactive spreadsheet that converts every edit you make into the equivalent Python code, it's also a Jupyter extension. We use Plotly for all of our visualizations -- letting users configure bar plots, histograms, scatter plots, etc similar to how you could in Excel. Plotly's API is really simple to use and it allows for interactivity right out of the box. It would have taken us months to recreate their functionality that we were able to get in days of implementation instead.
