# About

hvPlot is completely open source, available under a BSD license freely for both commercial and non-commercial use. hvPlot was originally developed with the support of [Anaconda Inc.](https://anaconda.com), and is now maintained by Anaconda developers and community contributors.

hvPlot is part of the [HoloViz](https://holoviz.org) family of tools. The [holoviz.org](https://holoviz.org) website shows how to use hvPlot together with other libraries to solve complex problems, with detailed tutorials and examples. You can see a variety of projects using hvPlot at [examples.holoviz.org](https://examples.holoviz.org), and you can compare hvPlot to other available tools at [pyviz.org](https://pyviz.org).

If you are interested in contributing to hvPlot development to help address some of the [open issues](https://github.com/holoviz/hvplot/issues), see our [developer instructions](https://hvplot.holoviz.org/developer_guide/index.html) to set up your development environment.
