I'm really fond of https://altair-viz.github.io/ which wraps and translates into https://vega.github.io/vega-lite/.

The interactivity and cross-filtering possibilities is really good when you have many datapoints.

From vega-lite I miss that they did not develop object constancy (https://bost.ocks.org/mike/constancy/) animation possibilities since they're building on top of d3.js.

I'm a big fan of Altair and have used it for demos in the past. However, restrictions such as a 5,000-row limit on dataframes and usage only inside notebooks pushes me to other solutions like Plotly.

BTW, the 5000 restriction is more a "guide" for structuring your data - you can turn it off.

Also, Altair plots can certainly be used outside of notebooks! Happy to share some examples..

Please, I couldn't find a straightforward configuration to do that
