GooPyCharts vs Matplotlib
May 25, 2016 ยท View on GitHub
Advantages
- Tooltips! (You highlight a point on the graph and it tells you what the point is)
- Much simpler and more intuitive API. I tried to go more MATLAB, less matplotlib
- Better zooming
- Prettier
- Integrates well with the web. It is very simple to embed a graph produced by GooPyCharts into a webpage (just copy the HTML, if you are interested in doing this and have questions, just ask).
- Easy to export to image/CSV
- Works without numpy - just uses Python lists
Disadvantages
- Limited features. Matplotlib has a lot more features and is overall much more powerful
- Dynamic graph resizing
- Performance - Matplotlib handles large amounts of data better
