A plotting library for Rust powered by Plotly.js.
Usage
Add this to your Cargo.toml
:
[dependencies]
plotly = "0.4.1"
For changes since the last version please consult the change log.
Crate Feature Flags
The following feature flags are available:
orca
- Optional, compatible with Rust stable.
- Adds plot save functionality to the following formats: png, jpeg, webp, svg, pdf and eps.
- Requires some additional configuration, see plotly_orca.
Saving to png, jpeg, webp, svg, pdf and eps formats can be made available by enabling the orca
feature:
[dependencies]
plotly = { version = "0.4.1", features = ["orca"] }
This feature requires some manual configuration to function. For details and installation instructions please see the plotly_orca.

Save plots
At present it is only possible to save plots in PNG, JPEG and HTML format with the help of the browser. For example the following code:
extern crate plotly;
use plotly::common::Mode;
use plotly::{Plot, Scatter};
fn line_and_scatter_plot() {
let trace1 = Scatter::new(vec![1, 2, 3, 4], vec![10, 15, 13, 17])
.name("trace1")
.mode(Mode::Markers);
let trace2 = Scatter::new(vec![2, 3, 4, 5], vec![16, 5, 11, 9])
.name("trace2")
.mode(Mode::Lines);
let trace3 = Scatter::new(vec![1, 2, 3, 4], vec![12, 9, 15, 12]).name("trace3");
let mut plot = Plot::new();
plot.add_trace(trace1);
plot.add_trace(trace2);
plot.add_trace(trace3);
// The following will generate the plot in PNG format (width: 1024, height: 680) and display it in the browser.
plot.show_png(1024, 680);
// Similarly to the above line but with a JPEG format output.
plot.show_jpeg(1024, 680);
// Save the resulting plot in `filename.html`
plot.to_html("filename.html");
plot.show();
}
fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {
line_and_scatter_plot();
Ok(())
}
will open 3 tabs in the browser with the first two containing the PNG and JPEG outputs respectively. Then these must be saved manually by right clicking and selecting Save As...
in the context menu of the browser. This is somewhat cumbersome. An alternative is to use the orca
feature which draws on the Orca package to directly convert plot data to several formats. The orca
feature enables to_*
methods where*
is one of the supported formats: png, jpeg, webp, svg, pdf and eps. The caveat is that there is a manual installation step required for this to work. For instructions please see: plotly_orca.
