Again a static default plot library? I would love to see some libraries with higher level visualizations like parallel coordinates, star coordinates and so on. I know, they require interaction, but hey ... why not spending time on this and not again a default plot library? Bar plot stays a bar plot, doesn't matter if you plot it with mpl or seaborn or whatever.

Plotly is pretty great for that sort of thing. It has those sorts of things built in.

And for those who missed the announcement, plotly is now an open source library (it used to be a web service where you needed an API key and had to upload data to their servers, etc.) You still get all the "polish" (nice docs, consistent API, examples, etc.) that went into it when it was a commercial product.

Thanks for this! I dropped plotly due to having projects on machines wtihout an internet connection. Have to try it again.

Thanks for mentioning this! If people are curious, here's the official announcement: https://medium.com/plotly/plotly-py-4-0-is-here-offline-only...
