Implementing and sharing this amazingly fast package! The most frequently used plot for data analysis is undoubtedly the. Would highly recommend using scattermore. The following plots help to examine how well correlated two variables are. So, if you have to plot a huge amount of points into a scatterplot, as I often do, I
What I want to do is to associate each point with a gradient color for a 3rd dimension. The overall speed up now is of ~13x: from 13.55 s to ~1 s! A typical scatter plot can display a point with (x, y), as we all know. require ( scattermore ) system.time ( print ( ggplot ( pdata, aes ( x = x, y = y )) + geom_scattermore ())) user system elapsed 0.987 0.060 1.047 Time of writing this post), which uses a C script to rasterize the dots as a bitmap and His new R package scattermore (last commit to the package was on Jan 31st, 2021, at the Then, I found another StackOverflow answer, with a user recommending This provides a ~5x speed up, from 13.6 s to less than 3 s! scattermore is faster plotnine is based on ggplot2 from the R programming language, so if you have a background in R, then you can consider plotnine as the equivalent of ggplot2 in Python. system.time ( print ( ggplot ( pdata, aes ( x = x, y = y )) + geom_point ( pch = '.' ))) user system elapsed 2.688 0.100 2.787 This tutorial focuses on plotnine since it’s one of the most mature ones. Recommending to use the pch='.' option to plot data points as non-aliased single One of the tips I found on the web comes from a StackOverflow answer, The R graph gallery focuses on it so almost every section there starts with ggplot2 examples. ggplot2 allows to build almost any type of chart. It can greatly improve the quality and aesthetics of your graphics, and will make you much more efficient in creating them. How long would the default R plot() and ggplot methods take to plot this? system.time ( with ( pdata, plot ( x, y ))) user system elapsed 11.481 0.048 11.530 require ( ggplot2 ) system.time ( print ( ggplot ( pdata, aes ( x = x, y = y )) + geom_point ())) user system elapsed 13.331 0.220 13.552Īnd here is our starting point: R would take around 11.5 s and ggplot even longer, ggplot2 is a R package dedicated to data visualization. Let’s start by generating a dataset of 1 million X and Y coordinates, normallyĭistributed: require ( data.table ) pdata = data.table ( x = rnorm ( 1e6 ), y = rnorm ( 1e6 )) Today, I finally got tired of it and went down a rabbit hole of DDG searches (yes, I useĭuckDuckGo, and you should too!). More than 5 min for it to be generated and exported to a png file. Only then I would generate the final plot using all data points, sometimes waiting Until now, I usually plotted just a few randomly selected points while fixing the figure Quite the bottleneck: plotting can take forever. But, when handling such large amounts of data, I always encounter My tool of choice for plotting is always R, and more specifically the grammar of graphs Have you ever had to generate a scatterplot with one million points, or more? As aīioinformatician working in the academia, and specifically on large datasets, this
