Plotly Examples in Perl using iPerl (Jupyter)

This repository showcases interactive data visualization using Perl in Jupyter Notebooks through the iPerl kernel. It includes three examples that demonstrate how to generate web-based interactive plots with Plotly from Perl.

The notebook perl_plot_examples.ipynb was edited in Visual Studio Code (VSCode) using the iPerl Jupyter kernel plugin. The environment used was macOS Sonoma 14.7.4.

📦 Requirements

• Perl 5.x
• iPerl (GitHub repo)
• JupyterLab or VSCode with Jupyter extension
• CPAN modules:
  • Chart::Plotly
  • PDL
  • Dash (optional, for advanced dashboards)

📈 Example 1: Simple Plot with Plotly

A basic interactive line plot using Chart::Plotly::Plot.

Perl snippet:

use Chart::Plotly qw(show_plot);
use Chart::Plotly::Plot;
use Chart::Plotly::Trace::Scatter;

my $trace = Chart::Plotly::Trace::Scatter->new(
    x => [0 .. 10],
    y => [ map { $_**2 } 0 .. 10 ],
    mode => 'lines+markers'
);

my $plot = Chart::Plotly::Plot->new(traces => [$trace]);
show_plot($plot);

🗺️ Example 2: Interactive Map with Scattermapbox

An interactive geographic plot using Scattermapbox. It shows points based on latitude/longitude.

Perl snippet:

use Chart::Plotly::Plot;
use Chart::Plotly::Trace::Scattermapbox;

my $trace = Chart::Plotly::Trace::Scattermapbox->new(
    lat  => ["-33.45"],
    lon  => ["-70.66"],
    mode => 'markers',
    marker => { size => 14 },
    text => ["Santiago"]
);

my $plot = Chart::Plotly::Plot->new(
    traces => [$trace],
    layout => {
        mapbox => { style => "open-street-map", center => { lat => -33.45, lon => -70.66 }, zoom => 5 },
        margin => { t => 0, b => 0, l => 0, r => 0 }
    }
);

Chart::Plotly::show_plot($plot);

🌐 Example 3: 3D Interactive Plot (Scatter3d)

Generates a 3D scatter plot with Plotly.

Perl snippet:

use Chart::Plotly::Plot;
use Chart::Plotly::Trace::Scatter3d;

my $trace = Chart::Plotly::Trace::Scatter3d->new(
    x => [1 .. 10],
    y => [ map { $_**0.5 } 1 .. 10 ],
    z => [ map { $_**1.5 } 1 .. 10 ],
    mode => 'markers',
    marker => { size => 4, color => [1 .. 10], colorscale => 'Viridis' }
);

my $plot = Chart::Plotly::Plot->new(traces => [$trace]);
Chart::Plotly::show_plot($plot);

💡 ¿Cómo ejecutar este notebook?

Este notebook está hecho en Perl usando el kernel IPerl.
Puedes ejecutarlo localmente con los siguientes pasos:

1. Instala Perl y cpanm (si aún no lo tienes):

   curl -L https://cpanmin.us | perl - App::cpanminus
   

2. Instala los módulos necesarios cpanm Devel::IPerl Chart::Plotly

3. Abre el notebook en Visual Studio Code
   • Instala la extensión Jupyter en VSCode.
   • Asegúrate de tener el kernel IPerl instalado.
   • Abre el archivo .ipynb y selecciona el kernel Perl.

También puedes usar jupyter notebook desde terminal si prefieres Jupyter clásico.
