 Next-gen plotting library built using the [`pygfx`](https://github.com/pygfx/pygfx) rendering engine that utilizes [Vulkan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vulkan), [DX12](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DirectX#DirectX_12), or [Metal](https://developer.apple.com/metal/) via WGPU, so it is very fast! `fastplotlib` is an expressive plotting library that enables rapid prototyping for large scale exploratory scientific visualization.
