ultraplot - It's better to share!

UltraPlot extends its sharing capabilities by redefining how sharing works. As of this release, sharing will operate by looking at the subplotgrid and extending label sharing when plots are adjacent. Labels will be turned on for those subplots that

Face and edge of the plot
or face an empty plot space

In the past, sharing top and right labels would erroneously be turned off and could only be managed by turning the sharing feature off.

For example, consider a simple 2x2 layout. Turning on the top and right labels now looks like: layout=0

Similarly for more complex layouts the plots facing an edge will turn on their labels. Note that the limits are still shared for these subplots:

layout=1

Vertical inset colorbars

UltraPlot now also supports vertical inset colorbars such as

pcolormesh

ultraplot - v1.56 🐝 Feature addition: Beeswarm plot

We are introducing a new plot type with this release: a beeswarm plot. A beeswarm plot is a data visualization technique that displays individual data points in a way that prevents overlap while maintaining their relationship to categorical groups, creating a distinctive "swarm" pattern that resembles bees clustering around a hive.

Unlike traditional box plots or violin plots that aggregate data, beeswarm plots show every individual observation, making them ideal for datasets with moderate sample sizes where you want to see both individual points and overall distribution patterns, identify outliers clearly, and compare distributions across multiple categories without losing any information through statistical summaries.

This plot mimics the beeswarm from SHAP library, but lacks the more sophisticated patterns they apply such as inline group clustering. UltraPlot does not aim to add these features but instead provide an interface that is simpler that users can tweak to their hearts desires.

ultraplot - V1.55. Bug fixes.

This release continues our ongoing mission to squash pesky bugs and make your plotting experience smoother and more intuitive.

✨ New Features

Centered Labels for pcolormesh You can now enable center_labels when using pcolormesh, making it easier to annotate discrete diverging colormaps—especially when including zero among the label values. Ideal for visualizing data with meaningful central thresholds.
Direct Bar Labels for bar and hbar Bar labels can now be added directly via the bar and hbar commands. No more extra steps—just call the method and get your labeled bars out of the box.

🐞 Bug Fixes

Various internal improvements and minor bug fixes aimed at ensuring a more robust and predictable plotting experience.

As always, thank you for using UltraPlot! Feedback, issues, and contributions are welcome.

ultraplot - v1.50: Networks, lollipops and sharing

UltraPlot v1.50

Version v1.50 is a major milestone for UltraPlot. As we become more familiar with the codebase, we’ve opened the door to new features—balancing innovation with continuous backend improvements and bug fixes.

🌍 GeoAxes Sharing

You can now share axes between subplots using GeoAxes, as long as they use the same rectilinear projection. This enables cleaner, more consistent layouts when working with geographical data.

🕸️ Network Graphs

UltraPlot now supports network visualizations out of the box. With smart defaults and simple customization options, creating beautiful network plots is easier than ever.

Network plotting code

```python import networkx as nx, ultraplot as uplt n = 100 g = nx.random_geometric_graph(n, radius=0.2) c = uplt.colormaps.get_cmap("viko") c = c(np.linspace(0, 1, n)) node = dict( node_size=np.random.rand(n) * 100, node_color=c, ) fig, ax = uplt.subplots() ax.graph(g, layout="kamada_kawai", node_kw=node) fig.show() ```

🍭 Lollipop Graphs

A sleek alternative to bar charts, lollipop graphs are now available directly through UltraPlot. They shine when visualizing datasets with many bars, reducing visual clutter while retaining clarity.

Lollipop example code

```python import ultraplot as uplt, pandas as pd, numpy as np data = np.random.rand(5, 5).cumsum(axis=0).cumsum(axis=1)[:, ::-1] data = pd.DataFrame( data, columns=pd.Index(np.arange(1, 6), name="column"), index=pd.Index(["a", "b", "c", "d", "e"], name="row idx"), ) fig, ax = uplt.subplots(ncols=2, share=0) ax[0].lollipop( data, stemcolor="green", stemwidth=2, marker="d", edgecolor="k", ) ax[1].lollipoph(data, linestyle="solid") ```
