Makie is a high-performance, interactive data visualization and plotting ecosystem for the Julia programming language. It offers multiple backends (GLMakie, CairoMakie, WGLMakie, RPRMakie) for GPU-accelerated interactive plots, static vector graphics, browser-based WebGL plots, and ray tracing.

Use cases

• plot data in julia
• create interactive data visualizations
• export publication-quality vector graphics
• make animated plots and videos
• build simple guis for exploring data
• render 3d plots with gpu acceleration
• display plots in the browser with webgl
• raytrace scientific visualizations

When to choose

• you write Julia and need flexible, high-performance plotting
• you need both interactive exploration and static publication figures
• you want GPU-accelerated 3D visualization or animations
• you need plots that run natively, in browsers, or as vector graphics

When to avoid

• you work primarily in Python, R, or JavaScript rather than Julia
• you only need quick static charts with minimal setup
• your hardware lacks OpenGL support and you need interactive GPU rendering
