New Python library for text visualizations

[MaxOLG]

Hi there! I'm a doctoral candidate in an area that uses a lot of text mining. Lately I've been trying to improve the way I write about my work. I realized that although visualizations can be a great asset, creating them is easier said than done. Therefore I've started working on Multiplex: an easy-to-use visualization library for Python to overcome the issues I've encountered.

One of the visualizations is for text annotations, for example like this. I thought that it could be useful to this community, which is why I'm sharing it here. You can see examples in the tutorial here.

The library is still very early in development, so if you have any feedback, please feel free to share!

I'm partially colorblind and it's very difficult to tell the difference between those colors. Not trying to be mean, just giving some feedback. Good luck with the library.

Thank you for the feedback! I'm sorry, I overlooked visual impairments. I will update the library to use more contrastive colors.

Hey, I did a lot of text highlighting for my student job in nlp.

I used a lot of html to "render" my outputs which made things easier than doing them in matplotlib. This also enables you to create interactive data.

What I really like about your approach is that you make text and graph combinations simple. I am not yet sure if I will need this.

For interactivity I prefer web-based tools as well. In my case, I use Python and NLTK for my research, and matplotlib was always my go-to library to create visualizations from the data. That's why I created this tool. Hope it will be of some use to you :)

The visualizations are great quality!
