UpSet Plot for Multi-Set Intersection Analysis 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.

An UpSet plot visualizes intersections of multiple sets using a matrix-based layout that scales far better than Venn diagrams beyond 3 sets. A horizontal bar chart shows individual set sizes, a dot-matrix indicates which sets participate in each intersection, and a vertical bar chart above shows the intersection cardinality. This is the modern standard for set intersection analysis, making complex overlaps between many sets immediately readable.
