Plotly.rs is a plotting library for Rust powered by Plotly.js, providing a native Rust API for building interactive charts such as scatter plots, bar charts, histograms, candlesticks, 3D surfaces, and Sankey diagrams. It supports exporting interactive HTML plots, static images via the plotly_static feature (with legacy Kaleido support), and usage within WASM environments.

Use cases

• create interactive charts from Rust data
• plot candlestick charts for financial analysis in Rust
• export plots as static PNG images from a Rust program
• generate HTML reports with embedded interactive plots
• render charts in a WASM web app written in Rust
• downsample large timeseries for plotting
• make scatter plots and histograms from ndarray data

When to choose

• you are writing Rust and want Plotly-quality interactive visualizations
• you need to export publication-quality static images from Rust
• you want chart rendering inside a WASM/browser Rust application
• you need financial chart types like candlesticks in Rust

When to avoid

• you need a pure-Rust rendering pipeline without JavaScript dependencies
• you primarily work in Python or JavaScript where native Plotly exists
• you need real-time streaming dashboards rather than plot generation
• you require extensive documentation coverage (only ~32% documented)
