Introducing CuteCharts: A Python Library for Hand‑drawn Style Visualizations
This article presents CuteCharts, a Python package that generates hand‑drawn style charts such as bar, line, pie, radar, and scatter plots, provides installation instructions, and includes complete code examples for each chart type to help developers quickly create visually appealing graphics.
Today we introduce a cool Python library called CuteCharts that produces hand‑drawn style visualizations, offering an alternative to traditional charting tools like Matplotlib and pyecharts.
Installation:
pip install cutechartsBar Chart Example:
from cutecharts.charts import Bar
from cutecharts.components import Page
from cutecharts.faker import Faker
def bar_base() -> Bar:
chart = Bar("Bar-基本示例")
chart.set_options(labels=Faker.choose(), x_label="I'm xlabel", y_label="I'm ylabel")
chart.add_series("series-A", Faker.values())
return chart
bar_base().render()Line Chart Example:
from cutecharts.charts import Line
from cutecharts.components import Page
from cutecharts.faker import Faker
def line_base() -> Line:
chart = Line("Line-基本示例")
chart.set_options(labels=Faker.choose(), x_label="I'm xlabel", y_label="I'm ylabel")
chart.add_series("series-A", Faker.values())
chart.add_series("series-B", Faker.values())
return chart
line_base().render()Pie Chart Example:
from cutecharts.charts import Pie
from cutecharts.components import Page
from cutecharts.faker import Faker
def pie_base() -> Pie:
chart = Pie("Pie-基本示例")
chart.set_options(labels=Faker.choose())
chart.add_series(Faker.values())
return chart
pie_base().render()Radar Chart Example:
from cutecharts.charts import Radar
from cutecharts.components import Page
from cutecharts.faker import Faker
def radar_base() -> Radar:
chart = Radar("Radar-基本示例")
chart.set_options(labels=Faker.choose())
chart.add_series("series-A", Faker.values())
chart.add_series("series-B", Faker.values())
return chart
radar_base().render()Scatter Chart Example:
from cutecharts.charts import Scatter
from cutecharts.components import Page
from cutecharts.faker import Faker
def scatter_base() -> Scatter:
chart = Scatter("Scatter-基本示例")
chart.set_options(x_label="I'm xlabel", y_label="I'm ylabel")
chart.add_series(
"series-A", [(z[0], z[1]) for z in zip(Faker.values(), Faker.values())]
)
chart.add_series(
"series-B", [(z[0], z[1]) for z in zip(Faker.values(), Faker.values())]
)
return chart
scatter_base().render()If you find these examples useful, feel free to try CuteCharts and explore its hand‑drawn chart capabilities.
