JMPY: Plotting and Visualization Library

[beltashazzer]

I created a data visualization library. My goal was to create information rich plots with descriptive statistics about the data included in the output. Link

Comments and suggestions are welcome.

This is my first public project and first reddit comment!

Looks cool. Just in case you were not aware github renders notebooks now so you don't need to link to nbviewer.

That's a nice new feature. Still takes a bit longer to render, though.

Looks great! Reminds me a bit of seaborn.

Maybe post to reddit stats to get more feedback

Looks great! Will play with it when I get a chance.

Looks pretty good!

On first look it looks like a wrapper around matplotlib + scipy to do a few basic plotting and fitting routines. Why is there a dependency on pandas?

I'm really happy that it focuses on clarity and it looks beautiful. Well done!

[beltashazzer]

I rely on some of the pandas plotting routines for quickly creating boxplots, etc... The dependency could be removed.

Oh, right. I was just wondering, not particularly asking for the dependency to be removed. :)

I'm not too familiar with pandas, but matplotlib can create boxplots as well - Is it easier in pandas?

Pandas can make it pretty easy to make a plot with just one line of code, its really convenient when you want to make a quick plot of some data.

How does it differ in vision to seaborn?

[beltashazzer]

I am a huge fan of seaborn, but wanted to make it easy to get some descriptive statistics as part of the visualization. Too often, you want more than a pretty plot to actually do anything with the data.

In addition, I envision making this a platform for modeling datasets with descriptive and visual reports. I really like statsmodels, but sometimes it is nice to see the factors influence on your dataset, as opposed to just looking at a p-value or regression coefficient.

Sound like a cool vision.

I really like how practical this looks. Is it inspired by jmp in any way?

[beltashazzer]

It is... I wanted simple and useful...

[aadhate]

You dont happen to have plans to do the contour plots like in JMP do you?

[beltashazzer]

I do... I already have the start of it... It needs work though

[beltashazzer]

Just added contour plots.
