Basic Chord Diagram in Python, R, Julia and JavaScript

Source code in 15 libraries — Python: Altair, Bokeh, lets-plot, Matplotlib, Plotly, plotnine, Pygal, Seaborn; R: ggplot2; Julia: Makie.jl; JavaScript: Chart.js, D3.js, Apache ECharts, Highcharts, MUI X Charts.

A chord diagram displays relationships or flows between entities arranged around a circle's perimeter. Arcs (chords) connect related entities, with chord width proportional to the flow magnitude. This visualization excels at revealing the overall structure of connections and identifying the strongest relationships within a system.
