Rather than calling functions to draw specific chart types, you compose plots by layering components: a data source, aesthetic mappings (which columns map to which visual properties), geometric layers (points, lines, densities), scales, and facets. The library was designed to bring R's declarative plotting approach to Python, though it does not aim for feature-parity with ggplot2.\n\nThe package has been abandoned since its latest release on 2016-09-29 and receives no maintenance. While it has no runtime dependencies and installs cleanly, its age means it was built for older Python versions (2.7 and 3.3 era) and may not work reliably with modern environments or current data science libraries. The repository is archived with a last commit on 2023-01-21.","worth_installing":"No. The package is abandoned (latest release 2016-09-29, repository archived) and almost certainly incompatible with modern Python and libraries. While it has no dependencies and a permissive license, the lack of maintenance makes it unsuitable for new projects. Consider alternatives or test thoroughly before use."},"id":"ggplot","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/ggplot","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/ggplot.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/ggplot/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2016-09-29","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"ggplot","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"ggplot for python"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":89904,"position":13628,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.11.5"}
