documentation?

[isthisthat]

Hello, this is an extremely powerful extension! Thank you for your work. I'm struggling to work my way through the richness of features. Is there any additional documentation? If not, I'm happy to help write it. For instance, I was wondering how I can make a histogram or scatterplot. Thanks again.

No, unfortunately, there is no additional doc yet. We should add whatever we figure out to the FAQS page to hopefully help others.

So like usual, you will need to export data to math.js, and then use the plot command. At the moment this function only supports the line chart format. We can simply extend the functionality. Let me know what charts might be of interest and I'll see how we can expand the built-in function.

I would say a histogram plot(x, type='histogram'), scatter plot plot(x, y, type='scatter') and a bar plot plot(x, y, type='bar') would already be quite powerful. Then perhaps the ability to color/group by a third column plot(x, type='histogram', groupby=z) would satisfy most (of my) use cases.

So in the new UI we can have the following charts:

I would say a histogram

I am not if histogram is a type. It is more of how the bar chart is displayed, right?

Then perhaps the ability to color/group by a third column

You can define your own color set like plot([10, 20, 30], "type=doughnut&backgroundColor=[red,blue, green]")

To group multiple chars, write each set in a new line:

Hi! Congrats for this useful tool! I'm just playing around to check its functionality. I was wondering if it would be possible to export data+charts to HTML format in order to save the analyses, I tried copy/paste but no luck. Many thanks in advance.

Hi again. Sorry for the hiatus and thanks for adding these options! Can you give an example of how you would make a histogram using math.js and a bar plot? Thanks a lot!
