alterlab-matplotlib
From the author
Builds plots with the matplotlib Python library (pyplot and the object-oriented Figure/Axes API) for full low-level customization, exporting to PNG/PDF/SVG. Use when fine-grained control over individual plot elements is needed — custom line/scatter/bar/histogram/heatmap/contour/box/violin/3D plots, rcParams and style-sheet tuning, or GridSpec subplot layouts inside a scientific Python workflow. Does NOT cover opinionated journal-ready multi-panel figure workflows (Nature/Science/Cell formatting, colorblind-safe palettes, significance annotations); for those prefer alterlab-scientific-viz instead. Part of the AlterLab Academic Skills suite.

- alterlab-scientific-vizAlterLab-IEU/AlterLab-Academic-SkillsOrchestrates matplotlib, seaborn, and plotly with opinionated publication styles to produce journal-ready figures. Use when preparing journal-submission figures that need multi-panel layouts with bold panel labels, statistical significance annotations, error bars, colorblind-safe palettes (Okabe-Ito), or specific journal formatting (Nature, Science, Cell). Does NOT cover raw low-level plotting or fine-grained control of individual plot elements; for building custom plots from scratch or tuning every artist and rcParam prefer alterlab-matplotlib instead.

- alterlab-plotlyAlterLab-IEU/AlterLab-Academic-SkillsBuilds INTERACTIVE charts with the Plotly Python library (plotly.express / graph_objects) — hover tooltips, zoom/pan, animations, rangesliders, 3D rotation, and standalone HTML/web-embeddable output. Use when a chart must be interactive or web-embedded, for dashboards (incl. Dash), exploratory data analysis, or rotatable 3D plots. For static publication figures defer to alterlab-matplotlib (or alterlab-scientific-viz for journal formatting); for static statistical charts (heatmaps, distributions) defer to alterlab-seaborn; for diagrams/schematics defer to alterlab-scientific-schematics or alterlab-mermaid.

- alterlab-seabornAlterLab-IEU/AlterLab-Academic-SkillsBuilds statistical plots with the seaborn Python library and pandas DataFrame integration, on attractive matplotlib-based defaults. Use for quick exploration of distributions, relationships, and categorical comparisons — box plots, violin plots, swarm/strip plots, KDE/histograms, pair plots, joint plots, regression plots, correlation heatmaps, and faceted small multiples (relplot/displot/catplot/lmplot). For interactive/hover/zoom charts defer to alterlab-plotly; for exact journal/manuscript styling (column widths, point fonts, CMYK, vector export) defer to alterlab-scientific-viz; for low-level custom matplotlib figures defer to alterlab-matplotlib (seaborn integrates with it for fine-tuning).
