<p dir="ltr">Calvin,</p>
<p dir="ltr">Did you consider that if the library is pure Python (no binaries) and there are no licensing issues, it can be easily packaged and shipped within the plugin?</p>
<p dir="ltr">This approach is currently used by many plugins (GeoServer explorer is one of those).</p>

For me it is straight forward. My concern is will QGIS then be shipped
with plotly or can plotly be combined with the plugin itself. My concern
is for the end user. For many installing an extra package in order to
run a plugin would simply mean it doesn't get used. I like the work that
Matteo and colleagues have done but because it is based on plotly, then
plotly needs to be a part of the QGIS distribution or be distributed as
a part of the plugin if we are going to take that approach.<br><br></div>I
would be interested in helping out their efforts because it matches
some of the analysis needs that I am trying to solve. Based on my
concerns can you tell me whether we can use plotly or do we need to use a
different D3 library? Are their any licensing problems in using it? If
there are no problems with it then I will start digging into it and
reading through the DataPlot code.<br><br></div><div>What do you mean by the work of Juergen? <br></div><div><br></div>Thanks.</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sat, Oct 1, 2016 at 4:21 AM, Paolo Cavallini <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:cavallini@faunalia.it" target="_blank">cavallini@faunalia.it</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Hi,<br>

</span>In principle this is not a big issue: packages can be added to osgeo4w<br>
(I assume you're talking about Windows, because in Linux installing it<br>
should be straightforward). It's just a matter of resources: you could<br>
either learn how to do it, or support the excellent work by Juergen.<br>
This may benefit others.<br>
All the best, and thanks.<br>
