So for a while now I have been migrating from Matplotlib to holoviews for my plotting needs, and mostly enjoying what I have experienced. Then i notice hvplot, which seems to make the holviews workflow way easier, by tying it closer together with Pandas. All good so far. But now I discover holoplot, which seems to do the same thing? I am quite confused, so hopefully someone could please try to explain to me the difference between hvplot and holoplot. Please...

Kind regards, Rasmus

HoloPlot was the predecessor of hvPlot, even the logo is the same :)
I think it got renamed hvPlot in later versions.
It was developed by exactly the same developers.

So for high-level plotting use hvPlot.

    Right -- we originally chose the name holoplot but changed it on the advice of our lawyers, because of the company you can find at holoplot.com ; they work in a very different field but also deal with images so legally there could have been some overlap. – James A. Bednar Jan 31 '20 at 13:08
