As the title says, which programming language would you agree had the best libraries for visualisation (graphs, 3d models, charts, networks, animations, etc)?
Prefer languages with libraries that have more visulatizaton features than say, ease of using the libraries.
js has access to Apache echarts, which has a lot of diagrams and good api and doc with example
Python has access to matplotlib, plotly and more.
Both have the advantage of good support for secondary feature for data gathering and ui.
Depends what you want to do, but for scientific stuff, R or MATLAB.
Manim Community is a community fork of 3blue1brown’s awesome manim visualization library for python.
Mathematica’s visualizations are good, but this is the first and last positive thing I’ll ever say about it otherwise lmao
With all my dislike towards Matlab, it had great plots.
Processing at least for 2d stuff.
Wouldn’t JavaScript really take the cake here? Like, Python definitely has some good libraries but JavaScript lives in the browser, interfaces with HTML5 canvas, and is far more popular by the nature of the web.
Python had some pretty cool math graph library (matplotlib, plotly, seaborn, silx…), R is also well know for this kind of stuff.
TIL the python plotly library is a wrapper round a JS library of the same name
