Every two weeks or so I peruse github looking for something like this and I have to say this looks really promising. In statistical genetics we make really big scatterplots called Manhattan plots https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manhattan_plot and we have to use all this highly specialized software to visualize at different scales (for a sense of what this looks like: https://my.locuszoom.org/gwas/236887/). Excited to try this out

Hey! This sounds like a really interesting use case. If you run into any issues or need help with the visualization, please don't hesitate to post an issue on the repo. We can also think about adding an example demo of a manhattan plot to help too!
If you’re working in R with ggplot2, you could also consider the `ggrastr` package, specifically, `ggrastr::geom_point_rast`
These really large scatterplots are also useful for visualizing claims, and finding fraud.
Have you tried ManimGL?

Super awesome, and you can make it into an MCP for Cursor.
