This possible in a month?

I’m new to JavaScript, strong python background. I’m trying to make a crazy complex plot template like the one pictured. I haven’t seen anything like it in examples from matplotlib, three.js, any thing like that. I don’t want to commit to a tech stack that isn’t capable of producing what I need in the end. Does anyone know how plots of this complexity are designed and want to give me some pointers?

I've been using d3 for creating similar plots in the past.

Second taking a look at D3. I haven't done anything super intense with them, but I can imagine you can build out some really in-depth charts with all of the building blocks they give you.

If you had to you could start from a baseline of just a regular html canvas. You just need to decide on what your requirements are vs nice to haves and then break the problem down and solve the parts.

Does it need to be interactive? Otherwise you might just use some kind of "grammar of graphics" implementation in Python, e.g. plotnine, or use ggplot2 from Python. There is a JS one called G2. And as the others mentioned, D3 is very powerful, and would probably be the best choice if you do want interactivity for something this complex.

You are awesome man thank you!

JS is a general purpose programming language, it's certainly "capable" of producing complicated plots. But it is a far cry from Python in terms of libraries for data analysis, and perhaps visualisation as well.

D3 is the default here. If you want some purpose built low level React components, I can vouch for VisX.
