<p><em>My answer to <a href="http://ask.metafilter.com/303041/Generating-interactive-HTML-charts-from-Python#4388982">Generating interactive HTML charts from Python?</a> on Ask MetaFilter</em></p> <p>D3 is absolutely amazing but the learning curve is a bit steep. Totally worth the effort to learn it in the long run, but it's not so useful if you want to get something done quickly.</p> <p>I've used <a href="http://nvd3.org">NVD3</a> successfully in the past - it's another high level library on top of D3. Much faster to get results than D3 on its own.</p> <p>From your description it sounds like you should also check out <a href="http://square.github.io/crossfilter/">crossfilter</a> which, for the right use-cases, is phenomenal.</p> <p>Tags: <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/ask-metafilter">ask-metafilter</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/bokeh">bokeh</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/pandas">pandas</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/python">python</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/visualization">visualization</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/plotly">plotly</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/datavis">datavis</a></p>
