Julia Packages for Data Visualization

As far as I can tell, these are packages that are well maintained and more than a “proof-of-concept” or a weekend project:

• Plots.jl
  • Backends:
    • PyPlot.jl
      • PyPlot.jl is a wrapper for matplotlib
    • Plotly.jl`
      • Plotly.jl is a wrapper for plotly.js
    • GR.jl
      • GR.jl is an interface to the GR Framework
    • InspectGR.jl
      • same as GR but in X windows??It’s referenced in Plots.jl
    • PGFPlots.jl
      • PFGPlots.jl is a wrapper to the LaTeX package pgfplots
    • UnicodePlots.jl
      • UnicodePlots.jl brings back the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s since it draws plots in a terminal.
    • HDF5.jl
      • HDF5.jl can be used as a backend for Plots.jl in case we are dealing with big data. It stores plots and data in HDF5 - what is used for plotting: unknown
• Gadfly.jl
  • Gatfly.jl is a package aiming at statistical plots and is very similar to the R package ggplot2
• Makie.jl
  • Makie.jl is a package that produces pure OpenGL plots using GLFW.jl
• Winston.jl
  • Winston.jl is a package for 2D plotting with Julia
• KittyTerminalImages.jl
  • KittyTerminalImages.jl is a package to display images in the kitty terminal emulator

Deprecated ??

• Gaston.jl
  • Gaston.jl is a wrapper to use gnuplot. does not work with Julia 1.0+ so far
