About:
pandoc-plot is a tool that integrates with Pandoc to automatically generate and embed figures from code blocks. It supports a wide range of plotting toolkits like Matplotlib, ggplot2, and Plotly. This streamlines the workflow for creating reproducible documents and reports.
Key Features:
  • Supports multiple plotting toolkits (Matplotlib, ggplot2, Plotly, etc.)
  • Automatic figure generation from code blocks in Pandoc documents
  • Caches results to avoid re-running expensive computations
  • Cross-platform compatibility
Use Cases:
  • Generating scientific reports with embedded, up-to-date data visualizations
  • Creating technical documentation that includes diagrams from code
  • Automating figure creation for academic papers or presentations
Alternatives:
  • knitr – knitr is an R package with similar functionality but is primarily focused on R and requires a specific output format (like R Markdown).
  • pandoc-mermaid – pandoc-mermaid focuses specifically on rendering Mermaid diagrams, whereas pandoc-plot is a more general-purpose tool for various plotting libraries.
