Excellent work!

From the article:

> I’ve worked with a lot of data visualization libraries over the years, both proprietary and open source, and I don’t know of any that can both display a million points this quickly, and support zooming, panning, and selection at interactive speed. (And now that I’ve I said this, I look forward to learning about some in the Hacker News discussion of this post )

FYI: https://github.com/maartenbreddels/ipyvolume does this in 3d already for quite a while, and based on this I've created a PR for bqplot (2d) https://github.com/bloomberg/bqplot/pull/661 That last one is not released though.

Thanks!

Yeah, I should have clarified that I meant in 2D. ipyvolume is super impressive, and I didn't know you were working on bringing some of that webgl goodness to bqplot. Very cool!

Does ipyvolume have support some kind of points selection in 3D? Or is the idea that you'd perform selections using 2D projections in bqplot?

np, yes it does do 3d selections (projected only for now), shown here https://twitter.com/maartenbreddels/status/96712877380723507... but not yet documented. Should be for the next version (0.5, to be released this year)
