I'm on the hunt for a reliable Python library that can help me plot candlestick data. I've checked around, but the options seem limited, and many of the popular recommendations from forums aren't well-documented and have bugs. I need a library that has solid documentation and a straightforward API for interacting with a GUI since I want to embed the candlestick chart directly into my application. What would you suggest? Any recommendations would be super helpful. Thanks!

Could you share what framework you’re using for your GUI? Knowing that might help narrow down the options better!
You might want to check out Plotly; it's a decent option for candlestick charts. Just keep in mind that while it's powerful, implementing interactivity can be a bit of a challenge. If you’re looking for something easier to integrate with a GUI, you might also consider DearPyGui — it allows for good interactivity and multiple plots in a more structured GUI setup.
Another option is to use TradingView's charts, but it’s mainly for web applications. You can set up a websocket from Python to interact with it, but since you want something for a desktop app, that may not fit your needs. If you do decide to try DearPyGui, it’s worth it for creating a good user interface with multiple plots!
Just a heads up, I found a really nice video demonstrating candlestick visualizations. You might find it helpful: [Watch here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vSt2l-hU41g). Looks pretty slick!
