General
-------
Let's begin by importing ``vastorbit``.
.. ipython:: python
import vastorbit as vo
Let's generate a dataset using the following data.
.. code-block:: python
N = 20 # Number of records
data = vo.VastFrame({
"date": [1990 + i for i in range(N)] * 5,
"population1": [100 + i for i in range(N)] + [300 + i * 2 for i in range(N)] + [200 + i ** 2 - 3 * i for i in range(N)] + [50 + i ** 2 - 6 * i for i in range(N)] + [700 + i ** 2 - 10 * i for i in range(N)],
"population2": [200 + i ** 2 - i for i in range(N)] + [1000 + i * 2 for i in range(N)] + [500 + i ** 2 - 5 * i for i in range(N)] + [900 + i ** 2 + 3 * i for i in range(N)] + [100 + i ** 2 - 0.5 * i for i in range(N)],
})
In the context of data visualization, we have the flexibility to harness multiple plotting libraries to craft a wide range of graphical representations. vastorbit, as a versatile tool, provides support for several graphic libraries, such as Matplotlib and Plotly. Each of these libraries offers unique features and capabilities, allowing us to choose the most suitable one for our specific data visualization needs.

:width: 80%
:align: center
.. note::
To select the desired plotting library, we simply need to use the :py:func:`~vastorbit.set_option` function. vastorbit offers the flexibility to smoothly transition between different plotting libraries. In instances where a particular graphic is not supported by the chosen library or is not supported within the vastorbit framework, the tool will automatically generate a warning and then switch to an alternative library where the graphic can be created.
Please click on the tabs to view the various graphics generated by the different plotting libraries.

We can switch to using the ``plotly`` module.

In vastorbit, creating one or multiple range plots within a single graphic is a straightforward and flexible process. This feature enables you to efficiently visualize and compare multiple datasets or trends, providing you with a powerful tool for gaining insights from your data.

Custom Parameters
-----------------
.. hint:: In vastorbit, you have a range of options for customizing your range plots. You can select custom quantiles for both the lower and upper bounds, allowing you to precisely define the range of data displayed in your range plot.

Chart Customization
-------------------
vastorbit empowers users with a high degree of flexibility when it comes to tailoring the visual aspects of their plots.
This customization extends to essential elements such as **color schemes**, **text labels**, and **plot sizes**, as well as a wide range of other attributes that can be fine-tuned to align with specific design preferences and analytical requirements. Whether you want to make your visualizations more visually appealing or need to convey specific insights with precision, vastorbit's customization options enable you to craft graphics that suit your exact needs.
.. Important:: Different customization parameters are available for Plotly and Matplotlib.
For a comprehensive list of customization features, please consult the documentation of the respective
libraries: `plotly `__, `matplotlib `__.
