Hi everyone,
I have recently been introduced to the protovis visualization library, and I find aspects of it to be incredibly appealing for certain visualizations that don’t fit some of the canonical chart types.
http://vis.stanford.edu/protovis/
Has anyone ever thought of porting the API from protovis and using the MPL backends to perform the rendering? Is anyone interested in potentially working on a port? I was thinking we’d initially start with the static functionality, and ultimately also port the interaction if there is enough interest.

As an aside: Related to the graph/network layout algorithms (which
appears to be only a subset of protovis) is NetworkX, which can use
matplotlib as a rendering backend.

Those charts are certainly interesting. I haven't looked at the API
(JavaScript?!), but at the very least we could probably add a few new
graphs to our gallery. Maybe use their gallery to inspire some new
chart types in mpl?
