plotters is a Rust data visualization library that provides a high-level API for creating charts and plots. It supports multiple backends (bitmap, SVG, canvas, WASM) via the `DrawingBackend` trait, allowing output to PNG, SVG, GIF, or interactive Jupyter notebooks. The core crate `plotters` offers chart builders, coordinate systems, drawable elements, series, and styles, while backend crates (`plotters-bitmap`, `plotters-svg`) implement the trait. Key entry points include `ChartBuilder`, `DrawingArea`, and backend constructors like `BitMapBackend::new`. Data flows involve user-provided iterators transformed into drawable elements via series (e.g., `LineSeries`, `Histogram`) and rendered to the chosen backend. External dependencies include `image`, `chrono`, `font-kit`, `ab_glyph`, `gif`, and `serde` (optional). The library is designed for embedding in Rust applications, not as a standalone tool, and is actively maintained with extensive examples, benchmarks, and CI.
openacid/slim is a Go library for building memory-efficient, serializable trie indexes and sparse arrays, primarily designed for in-memory indexing of large on-disk key-value data. The core artifact is SlimTrie, a compressed trie that achieves roughly 11 bits per key while supporting fast Get, range queries, prefix scans, and versioned marshal/unmarshal. The repository also contains a standalone sparse-array package and a type-safe encoder framework, with extensive benchmarks comparing against Go maps and btree indexes. Its architecture is modular: the trie package defines the index structure, the array package provides bitmap-backed dense/sparse storage primitives, and the encode package abstracts value serialization with generated concrete implementations.
