Is there a better and more comprehensive plotting library than Matplotlib, it's 3D plots a lack polish. Also it is kind of verbose and require much boilerplate. Its api is sprawling and hard to remember.

For 3D, I use https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MayaVi and its `tvtk` module and https://www.paraview.org/

It's API is not as sprawling but understanding the data classes takes some effort.

For 2D, matplotlib or ROOT fit my uses. But, if you think matplotlib is sprawling, you'll hate ROOT.

Check Seaborn, it may suit your needs.

Also Plotly and Bokeh, although both are more targeted towards producing interactive web based plots rather than print ready plots.
