When a matplotlib chart is created in Python REPL, the
.show()function displays the figure in nice, small window. The GUI of the app looks like this:It would be nice to provide a similar user experience if one calls the
.show()method of a Plotly figure in a Swift REPL. Current implementation shows a HTML document in a browser window. This gets us 80% of the features for a very little development cost but it's still worth looking at other options.Replacing the browser with a stand-alone app with an embedded browser view give us more flexibility and the possibility to develop features custom tailored to plotting:
Natural export to different formats (i.e. PNG, PDF, HTML, JSON, ...) via
File->Save As...or a share button.Plotly modebar that is normally part of the figure and looks like this:
Can be moved to native toolbar similar to this:
We could display a sidebar that shows the JSON representation of the Figure.
