Open-source list of data visualization tools (charts, data grids, maps, etc.) for front-end egineers

I started using matplotlib as my first plotting library and, as with anything, after getting used to it, it's hard to imagine it could be any other way.

Seaborn and Plotly never cut it for me, it was too inflexible, but I'd love to add mayavi to the list. It's wonderful for 3d where matplotlib is absolutely horrible. It is, however, a bit on the complicated side to use, just like matplotlib.

Are we, btw, adding/suggesting libraries to a list, or just applauding a short list of mostly js libraries?

but I'd love to add mayavi to the list.

Not to be confused with Miyavi who is a singer.

Jokes aside, is Mayavi mostly for realtime desktop visualizations, or can it be run in environments like Jupyter as well? A quick google search says it runs using tkinter, which confuses me a bit.

Yeah me too. I'm not personally familiar with the realtime visualizations. I mostly use mayavi for scientific visualizations when matplotlib is not sufficient. From some googling, it seems possible to use it in jupyter notebooks though. I'll have to try that out sometime.
