Welcome to fastplotlib’s documentation!¶

Summary¶

A fast plotting library built using the pygfx render engine utilizing Vulkan, DX12, or Metal via WGPU, so it is very fast! We also aim to be an expressive plotting library that enables rapid prototyping for large scale explorative scientific visualization. fastplotlib will run on any framework that pygfx runs on, this includes glfw, Qt and jupyter lab
