Continuing the discussion from [ANN] First release of OCaml bindings to the Polars dataframe library:
There’s also sanette/oplot: Mathematical plotting library for ocaml.
If you’re interested, I might polish and release (or upstream to PrintBox) a tiny utility for plotting in text (useful for expect tests or CLI interfaces).
opam search plot
returns a long list; some are libraries to help with ploting.
Wow, this looks quite useful! I think I’d definitely use it my libraries it if it were available on opam!
gnuplot – C: bindings gnuplot and prbnmcn-gnuplot (simple interface subset)matplotlib – Python: bindings matplotlib
plplot – C: bindings plplot (owl-plplot got removed)plotly – Python: bindings plotlyOther library:
ocaml-gr → It is a binding of a C-library which aims to be fast, and it is used in the Julia comunity as a backend of several more highlevel libraries.
ocaml-vega-lite → I guess it produces json documents to be plotted with vega-lite
I’m not an expert but in OCaml there are a bindings to Cairo library, which is widely used to build plotting libraries on top of it. Maybe something like ocaml-gg would be an alternative.
For those who want to try something new, I’ve found the following procedure to work:
opan pin gg --dev-repo
opam pin vg --dev-repo
opam pin https://github.com/dbuenzli/vz.git
then patch up

This is available now as a PrintBox extension package printbox-ext-plot:
