inspired by some of your posts I did a talk at PyData Exter this week on the Grammar of Graphics and plotnine (python implementation)

I focussed on the conceptual strength which leads to a good "API" and compared it with the weaker conceptual framework of matplotlib

What do round brackets with code inside do in Python?

(
something
something_else
)

I've only ever seen round brackets contain parameters to functions.

I'm asking because plotnine code seems to do it, and I wonder if it is some special overloaded operator ?

So far, I have been a very enthusiastic user of #rstats, #rdatatable , #rmarkdown and #ggplot2 in #RStudio . I am looking for an equally effective, modern #python based setup . So far, I think I will go for #polars, #quarto and #plotnine in #vscode with #uv as package manager . Does anybody have suggestions about pitfalls in switching or advice for the setup? Or are there potentially better alternatives?

Warm recommendations for #plotnine for #python visualisation: it's feels a bit like emacs in that it takes time to grok its mental model, certainly if, like me you have no previous experience with its ancestor ggplot. But in the end it just does the job.

I was going to sit down and learn the {plotnine} python library today, but turns out there's nothing really to learn—it's literally {ggplot2} code wrapped in parentheses. If you know {ggplot2} in R, turns out you also know how to make plots on Python!

The recording of my PyData Global talk about data visualisation with Plotnine in #Python is now available! 🐍

Give it a watch if you're interested in:

📈 combining with matplotlib functions
✍️ adding custom annotations with HighlightText

(or if you're an #RStats user wondering about Plotnine vs #ggplot2)

I'm super excited to be speaking at PyData Global in December! I'll be talking about:

📊 customising plotnine plots
📈 combining with matplotlib functions
✍️ adding custom annotations with HighlightText

I'll be using this chart 👇👇👇 as an example!

Trying out #plotnine and loving it so far! I guess being used to #ggplot2 helps.
