FWIU Vega/voyager suggests similar charts with CompassQL: https://github.com/vega/voyager From http://vega.github.io/ re: CompassQL: > COMPASSQL is a visualization recommendation engine. Given user query, it suggests visualizations, ranked by both data properties and perceptual principles Altair is one implementation of Vega-lite in Python; for rendering charts with JS. mpld3 does matplotlib with d3.js: https://github.com/mpld3/mpld3
In Show HN: PlotAI – Create Plots in Python and Matplotlib with LLM
There's also Voyager which generates Vega-Lite spec prediction based on provided data: https://github.com/vega/voyager I made a small clone just to understand the inner workings of it: https://ellx.io/matyunya/simple-voyager-clone/index.md Here's my very basic attempt at ggplot-like API on top of Vega-Lite: https://ellx.io/matyunya/plot. There's also Vega-Lite API for producing spec JSON with more typical chaining calls: https://vega.github.io/vega-lite-api/
In Vega-Lite: A Grammar of Interactive Graphics
It makes me think of Voyager [1][2], based on Vega and Vega-lite, that leverage a grammar of graphics. A neat trick you can do in Julia is use it interactively to generate plot specs [3]. Sadly, looking at the github repo it seems to be unmaintened, so I am glad to see Muze in that space.
