Love the cube view! Tangentially related - anyone know a linux tool which takes a bunch of points/lines/labels as input and generates a nice interactive 3d view of it? I've considered using .obj file viewers, but it doesn't quite hit the mark. Gnuplot is nicer but doesn't have interactive features as far as I can tell.

If you’re comfortable in R, rgl was pretty straightforward when I used it moons ago: https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/rgl/index.html

I love plotly for all my graphics needs (mainly 2D but supports 3D too)! Can export to a standalone interactive html file, can be used as a pandas plotting backend, can be easily extended with some client-side JS if you want to add more interactivity to the final result

I had initially used plotly to build my dashboard but switched over to bokeh mostly because it's really hard to make plotly express api work with the graph objects api. Bokeh is pretty new though so ymmv but I have been liking the apk so far
