# HoloViews HoloViews is a library that makes data analysis and visualization simple by automatically generating the right plot elements for your data. It supports Bokeh, Matplotlib, and other backends. This file lists the most important documentation pages for LLM-assisted development; not all generated doc links are shown. All documentation is available as markdown files under /markdown/. ## Documentation ### getting started > Guides for installing and getting started with HoloViews - [install](/markdown/install.md): Installing HoloViews ### elements > Element types for visualizing data with examples.
