Introducing CuteCharts: A Python Library for Hand‑drawn Style Visualizations

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 cutecharts

Bar 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()
