ComputePipeline - public?

[ophelia-adams]

Is the ComputePipeline considered a public interface for plotting, or is it not intended to be used directly? I suppose this is mostly a question about stability, are large changes expected?

It is a really good fit for a slightly complicated plotting situation (linked data across plots and interactivity).

Great to hear it works for you!
I must admit, I havent thought much about the exact future, since I think computegraph still needs to prove itself in various situations.
I dont plan to introduce many breaking changes, but we could still refactor it once in a while, if the need arises.
I'd say the more people use it productively, the better the chance for it to stabilize ;)

Great, that makes sense, thanks! They represents the problem quite well, and more importantly I saw pretty big improvements when I essentially replaced my own small network of plot-related observables by a compute graph by way of plot recipe attributes (so perhaps some of the improvement also reflects using Makie in a more "correct" way).
