shellplot

"We should have never left the command line."

Shellplot is the plotting package that you didn't know you needed. Plotting, straight outta the command line.

Please take a look at the documentation, which contains many examples.

Installation

$ pip install shellplot

Quickstart

Shellplot loosely replicates the matplotlib API, offering both a figure and functional api. It currently supports scatter, line, histogram, bar and boxplots, with many options to customize the figure. It's as easy as:

>>> import shellplot as plt
>>> df = plt.load_dataset("penguins")
>>> plt.plot(df["bill_length_mm"], df["flipper_length_mm"], color=df["species"])

Shellplot also provides a convenient integration with pandas. Simply set the pandas plotting backend to shellplot:

>>> import pandas as pd
>>> pd.set_option("plotting.backend", "shellplot")
