# Lets-Plot
[](https://confluence.jetbrains.com/display/ALL/JetBrains+on+GitHub)
[](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/JetBrains/lets-plot-kotlin/master/LICENSE)
[](https://github.com/JetBrains/lets-plot/releases/latest)
**Lets-Plot** is a multiplatform plotting library built on the principles of the Grammar of Graphics.
The library' design is heavily influenced by Leland Wilkinson work [The Grammar of Graphics](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2549408.The_Grammar_of_Graphics) describing the deep features that underlie all statistical graphics.
> This grammar [...] is made up of a set of independent components that can be composed in many different ways. This makes [it] very powerful because you are not limited to a set of pre-specified graphics, but you can create new graphics that are precisely tailored for your problem.
> - Hadley Wickham, "[ggplot2: Elegant Graphics for Data Analysis](https://ggplot2-book.org/index.html)"
## Grammar of Graphics for Python [](https://pypi.org/project/lets-plot)
A bridge between R (ggplot2) and Python data visualization. \

### Notebooks
Create plots in [Kotlin Notebook](https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/16340-kotlin-notebook),
[Datalore](https://datalore.jetbrains.com/report/static/HZqq77cegYd.E7get_WnChZ/aTA9lQnPkRwdCzT6uy95GZ), [Jupyter with Kotlin Kernel](https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlin-jupyter#readme) \
or any other notebook that supports `Kotlin Kernel`. \
To learn more see the **[Lets-Plot Kotlin API](https://github.com/JetBrains/lets-plot-kotlin)** project at GitHub.
### Compose Multiplatform
Embed Lets-Plot charts in [Compose Multiplatform](https://github.com/JetBrains/compose-multiplatform) applications. \
To learn more see the **[Lets-Plot Skia Frontend](https://github.com/JetBrains/lets-plot-skia)** project at GitHub.
### JVM and Kotlin/JS
Embed Lets-Plot charts in JVM (Swing, JavaFX) and Kotlin/JS applications.

## What is new in 4.4.0
- #### Waterfall Plot
See [example notebook](https://nbviewer.org/github/JetBrains/lets-plot/blob/master/docs/f-24e/waterfall_plot.ipynb).
- #### **`geom_band()`**:
See [example notebook](https://nbviewer.org/github/JetBrains/lets-plot/blob/master/docs/f-24e/geom_band.ipynb).
- #### Custom Legends
- `manual_key` parameter in plot layer
- `layer_key()` function
See [example notebook](https://nbviewer.org/github/JetBrains/lets-plot/blob/master/docs/f-24e/manual_legend.ipynb).
- #### Customizing Legends Appearance
The `override_aes` parameter in the `guide_legend()` function.
See [example notebook](https://nbviewer.org/github/JetBrains/lets-plot/blob/master/docs/f-24e/legend_override_aes.ipynb).
- #### And More
