Use python matplotlib (MPL) to create any graph from the library. See the examples.
Example 16.
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
from matplotlib.figure import Figure
# predefined globals:
# df: pd.DataFrame with the input table of input "a"
# mdf: pd.DataFrame with the input column metadata table of input "a"
# fig: Figure to be filled by this node
# axis_secs_to_HM(axis, major_secs=3600, minor_secs=None)
# style_figure(fig, icon: str = "") - set colors to the figure to match NIS colors
# generated data
x = [ 3600*i for i in range(10) ]
y = [ i**2 for i in range(10) ]
# plot the graph
fig = Figure(figsize=(12, 4))
ax = fig.add_subplot(1, 1, 1)
ax.plot(x, y, marker='o', linewidth=2)
ax.set_title("Object Count vs Time")
ax.set_xlabel("Time (hh:mm:ss)")
ax.set_ylabel("Count")
ax.grid(True)
# formats time axis from seconds to HH:MM
axis_secs_to_HM(ax.xaxis)
# set colors to the figure to match NIS light/dark colors

...USE LLMs with Python nodes
It is possible to ask large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT, Gemini or Copilot to generate python code that will render the graph. To simplify the interaction with the LLMs there is a button which prepares a prompt ready to be pasted into the LLMs. The user has to replace the <USER TASK HERE> at the end of the prompt:
Task (provided by the user): <USER TASK HERE>
Note that it is a good practice to create a new chat for the prompt so that it does not share context with unrelated conversation.
Copy and paste the python code – replace it: Ctrl+A, Ctrl+V.
Histogram
When the following question is added to the generated prompt:
Task (provided by the user): Plot a histogram (PDF) of circularity in 20 bins. Overlay it with a fitted gaussian curve with mean and stdev in the legend.
The ChatGPT 4o outputs code that produced following graph:
Figure 939. Histogram with Gaussian Fit.
3D plot
When the following question is added to the generated prompt:
Task (provided by the user): Plot Bin shape factor vs. Circularity vs. Area into 3D scatterplot.
The ChatGPT 4o outputs code that produced following graph:
Figure 940. 3D scatterplot.

Puts the connected results into a report which is defined in this node and shown in the Analysis Results tab. For details about defining the report, please see Report Editing.
Creates report as HTML document using Markdown template (MD), Python code and optional CSS.
Note
Currently the node is lacking interactive editing aids and this documentation is rudimentary. Therefore it should be used by advanced users only.
Figure 941.
The report connects to one or more table inputs (including layouts).
The MD template contains Markdown (may contain HTML) for static content and more or less sections enclosed in {{ }} which are replaced by dynamic content.
For every {{ arg0, ..., argN, kwarg0=value0, ..., kwargM=valueM }} section printToHtml(arg0, ..., argN, kwarg0=value0, ..., kwargM=valueM) is called.
By default it calls the limreport.defaultPrintToHtml() but can be overridden.
Typically arg0 is the name of the input a for A, b for B etc. If the input is a layout the arg1 should be the pane index counting from the left. Remaining parameters depends on the type of the input (graph, wellplate, table, summary).
Examples of MD template:
This graph is used for visualizing Y of ordinal X. Settings of each tab are described below.
General
Sets the title of the graph shown in the top.
Sets the inside color of the graph (color behind the visualized data).
Sets the outside color of the graph (frame around the visualized data).
Returns the colors to the default dark scheme.
Sets the color of the axes.
Sets the color of the texts.
Returns the colors to the default light scheme.
Sets the color scheme for the grouped data.
Shows data values directly in the graph.
Hides the legend.
Shows the legend inside the graph. Choose the legend position in the drop-down menu next to this option.
Shows the legend below the graph.
Sets the background color of the legend.
Sets the color of the legend text.
Data
This tab is used to pair the graph axes with the variables available in the table input. Select a data variable and click on the arrow next to the selected axis to assign it to this axis. Multiple variables can be assigned to the Y axes.
button opens the Data Series dialog setting up the data series graph properties such as the color, line type, stroke type, line width, fill, marker type, and values type. Only the checked properties are visualized in the graph.
button opens the Error Bar dialog setting up the error bar properties for the selected column. Choose an error column from the drop-down menu and optionally set its color, line width, and whisker width.
buttons move the variable in the axis list up/down.
button moves the variable from the axis list back to the All Columns list.
X Axis/Y Axis/Left Y Axis/Right Y Axis/Color Axis/Size Axis/Category Axis
Sets the title of the axis that is currently being set.
Reverses the range of the category axis.
Shows/hides the labels for the axis currently being set.
Specifies the axis label format for the axis currently being set.
Specifies the axis label numeral precision.
Specifies the step size of the category axis.
In Auto mode, the minimal value for the range is set automatically. If switched to Fixed, a minimal value from which the data are visualized can be entered into the edit box. Scale specifies the scale type - linear or logarithmic.
In Auto mode, the maximal value for the range is set automatically. If switched to Fixed, a maximal value to which the data are visualized can be entered into the edit box. Reversed Range reverses the values range from “min - max” to “max -min”.
In Auto mode, the major step value for the ticks and gridlines is set automatically. If switched to Fixed, a major step value used for the ticks and gridlines visualization can be entered into the edit box. If Tick is checked, a short tick is added to the axis next to each major step value. Grid color specifies the color of the grid line.
In Auto mode, the minor step value for the ticks and gridlines is set automatically. If switched to Fixed, a minor step value used for the ticks and gridlines visualization can be entered into the edit box. If Tick is checked, a short tick is added to the axis next to each minor step value. Grid color specifies the color of the grid line.
Provides a graphical representation of data where the individual values contained in a two-dimensional matrix are represented as colors from selected color gradient map. This graph does not support grouped source table A.
All tabs are closely described in the Results > Graphs > Barchart node.
Typical Usecases
This graph is used for visualizing Y as function of X.
All tabs are closely described in the Results > Graphs > Barchart node.
This graph is used for visualizing a cloud of points. If the source table A is grouped the graph shows them in colors.
