I finally tried out the @marimo.io marimo-pair skill to do some light data analysis and plotting in conversation with an LLM and it really worked. Tedious plotting layout and syntax fadeed into the background. I used OpenCode + GLM 5.2, @pola.rs and @matplotlib.org Would recommend. #EnergySky
A four-panel plot showing advanced metering deployment in Pennsylvania. The first panel shows how market penetration has changed over the years by customer class (residential, commercial, and industrial) with all classes approaching 100% penetration in recent years. The lower 3 panels show the percentage breakdown between standard (dumb) meters, one-way, and bidirectional advanced meters by customer class and year.

🌊The GHRSST Colour Palette Task Team has reached a consensus recommendation at #GHRSST27: use #HomeyerRainbow from #cmweather for displaying #SST data.
It provides a strong compromise between readability, colour-blind accessibility and smooth gradient rendering, available on @matplotlib.org. (1/2)
Global OSTIA SST analysis for 31 August 2025 plotted using the HomeyerRainbow colour palette from cmweather. The temperature scale ranges from -3°C to 37°C.

We have a pre-release we'd love y'all to test! Especially if you use non English scripts - a major part of this release is the overhaul of text and font processing to support modern font features, enabling full internationalization in all languages

@matplotlib.org is getting more and more interactivity!

"plotjs" converts any existing matplotlib charts to an interactive, web-based version of them, with quite a lot of customization options.

Try it out here: github.com/y-sunflower/...

I've started working on a minimalist PoC that converts @matplotlib.org plots into interactive graphics.

There are a bazillion things to do before it's something robust and stable, but I'm confident it will go somewhere.

"Hello #pydytuesday"

I downloaded #Positron, followed the PydyTuesday tutorials (link below) and made my first ever graph in Python!

As a longtime #RStats user, it was fun. I love that I'm good enough that I can understand the tutorials. Past me would be proud.

More fun digging around my @last.fm scrobbles using with @matplotlib.org

I had no idea how much of a difference changing fonts and background color could make
