GuideChimp vs. Matplotlib vs. Wijmo vs. python-docx Comparison Chart

Matplotlib is a comprehensive library for creating static, animated, and interactive visualizations in Python. Matplotlib makes easy things easy and hard things possible. A large number of third party packages extend and build on Matplotlib functionality, including several higher-level plotting interfaces (seaborn, HoloViews, ggplot, ...), and a projection and mapping toolkit (Cartopy).

python-docx is a Python library for creating and updating Microsoft Word (.docx) files. Paragraphs are fundamental in Word. They’re used for body text, but also for headings and list items like bullets. You’re free to specify both width and height, but usually, you wouldn’t want to. If you specify only one, python-docx uses it to calculate the properly scaled value of the other. This way the aspect ratio is preserved and your picture doesn’t look stretched. If you don’t know what a Word paragraph style is you should definitely check it out. Basically, it allows you to apply a whole set of formatting options to a paragraph at once. python-docx allows you to create new documents as well as make changes to existing ones. Actually, it only lets you make changes to existing documents; it’s just that if you start with a document that doesn’t have any content, it might feel at first like you’re creating one from scratch.
