whitecanvas
whitecanvas
is a type safe and backend independent plotting library for Python.

Project Philosophy
Type safety
All the methods should be designed to have nice signature, and should return the same type of object, so that your program can be statically checked by the IDE.
Backend independency
Every plotting library has their own strength and weakness. Same code should work on different backends, so that you can choose the best one for different purposes.
Currently supported backends are matplotlib
, pyqtgraph
, vispy
, plotly
and
bokeh
. If you want other backends, please feel free to
open an issue.
API tidiness
Most of (probably all of) the plotting libraries rely on the large number of arguments to configure the plot elements. They are usually hard to remember, forcing you to look up the documentation every time you want to make a plot.
whitecanvas
tries to organize the methods, namespaces and arguments carefully so that you can make any kind of plot only with the help of the IDE's auto-completion and
suggestions.
Installation
whitecanvas
is available on PyPI.
pip install whitecanvas -U
You can also install backend optional dependencies using one of the following commands.
pip install whitecanvas[matplotlib] -U
pip install whitecanvas[pyqtgraph] -U
pip install whitecanvas[vispy] -U
pip install whitecanvas[plotly] -U
pip install whitecanvas[bokeh] -U
