It wraps Matplotlib, NumPy, and SciPy to provide utilities for creating and displaying binned map visualizations.\n\nThe package is lightweight, distributed as a pure-Python wheel, and requires only the three core scientific Python libraries. It is actively maintained with a release 35 days ago and has been in production use since 2018. However, its license is custom and non-standard: it permits non-commercial use and personal modification but explicitly prohibits redistribution, which may restrict its use in commercial products or shared codebases.","worth_installing":"Yes, if your use case is non-commercial or internal research. The package is actively maintained, has low install friction, and provides specialized map-plotting utilities on top of standard scientific libraries. However, do not install if you intend to redistribute the code or integrate it into a commercial product\u2014the custom license explicitly prohibits redistribution. Verify the license terms match your use case first."},"id":"plotbin","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/plotbin","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/plotbin.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/plotbin/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-07-10","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"unclear","name":"plotbin","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"PlotBin: Plotting Binned Maps and Other Utilities"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":289163,"position":8005,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"3.2.0"}
