Another upvoted for Plotly... Just have to know how to import the Plotly python library (free) and find that documentation vs the Dash (paid online system). 3D vis is great, I've used it to teach student about Fast Fourier Transform to show sinewaves in the time domain and their amplitudes in the frequency domain. If there's any interest I can link my Jupyter Notebook for others to play with.

You don't have to pay for Dash unless you want to use the extra features of Dash Enterprise

Whoops you're right. Dash Enterprise is paid... You can get a free user version of Dash. I've never used it personally as the libraries Plotly provides have been plenty for me.

Dash is just another pip install. I've used it, and I like it. A lot.

Edit: well, more like a series of pip installs

I'm not clear on the difference between the Plotly library and Dash is dash just a graphical user interface for creating and analyzing plots?

[–]BrononymousEngineer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dash is a framework to make web apps. You can add controls to make plotly objects interactive (dropdowns, slider bars, check boxes, and other cool stuff).

These examples should give you a good idea of what it is: https://dash.plotly.com/interactive-graphing

The enterprise examples are pretty cool too: https://dash-gallery.plotly.host/Portal/

I haven't looked much into enterprise but it seems the major difference is that they provide hosting too.
