Makie.jl is an interactive plotting and data visualisation ecosystem for the Julia programming language.
It supports native-window and browser-based visualisation, high-quality graphics export, and multiple rendering backends for different use cases.
The backend packages GLMakie, WGLMakie, CairoMakie and RPRMakie add different functionalities: You can use Makie to interactively explore your data and create simple GUIs in native windows or web browsers, export high-quality vector graphics or even raytrace with physically accurate lighting.
This is free and open source software.
