Ciro's large dataset survey: Section "Survey of open source interactive plotting software with a 10 million point scatter plot benchmark by Ciro Santilli".
Huge respect to this companies.

It does a huge percentage of what you want easily, and from the language that you want to use.
Tends to be Ciro's pick if gnuplot can't handle the use case, or if the project is really really serious.
Couldn't handle exploration of large datasets though: Survey of open source interactive plotting software with a 10 million point scatter plot benchmark by Ciro Santilli
Examples:
- matplotlib/hello.py
- matplotlib/educational2d.py
- matplotlib/axis.py
- matplotlib/label.py
- Line style
- Subplots
- matplotlib/two_lines.py
- Data from files
- Specialized
Tested on Python 3.10.4, Ubuntu 22.04.
Tends to be Ciro Santilli's first attempt for quick and dirty graphing: github.com/cirosantilli/gnuplot-cheat.
domain-specific language. When it get the jobs done, it is in 3 lines and it feels great.
When it doesn't, you Google for an hours, and then you give up in frustration, and fall back to Matplotlib.

CLI hello world:
gnuplot -p -e 'p sin(x)'
