What do you use for the browser visualizations? Gorilla repl?



As a scientist, I use a mix of Incanter, Quil, and gg4clj bridge to R's ggplot2 for visualization in clojure (none of these outputs to a browser though).

R's ggplot2 beats Incanter (or anything other charting library) by a large margin in its excellent mix of conciseness and power, but I find Quil pretty nice for animations (superimposing data on geographical maps, for example).

I keep an eye out for new charting libraries coming out for clojure. Last two I spotted were vizard from yieldbot (https://github.com/yieldbot/vizard), and what seems to have only been a small project, xvsy (https://github.com/dvdt/xvsy)


Hadn't seen those libraries before, thanks for the links.

I have to say, Quil is the least Clojurey library I have ever used, and I find it very, very primitive. There's definitely a huge gap for a project built with idiomatic Clojure bindings that can handle both nice graphical stuff but also stodgy charts, with basic stuff like annotation layouts etc. I think something that could work really well if anybody finds the time is a port of G:

Late reply, but ran into another plotting library, also from dvdt.

It is a nice wrapper around vega. Using that now.
