What is Plotnine?

plotnine is a data visualization library based on the grammar of graphics:

• Declarative: Describe what you want, not how to draw it
• Layered: Build plots by adding components with +
• ggplot2 compatible: Nearly identical syntax to R's ggplot2
• Publication-ready: Themes and customization for polished output
