Gribouille (French for scribble ) is a new Typst package that brings Wilkinson’s grammar of graphics natively into Typst, in the spirit of ggplot2 and plotnine .
Gribouille uses cetz as backend.
The first version was released the 20th of May 2026.

Every line, star, and gradient in this chart was drawn in Typst, with Gribouille plotting its own star history.
Gribouille 0.4.0 soon. Full source will ships with the announcement.
Midnight-sky line chart of Gribouille's cumulative GitHub stars per day from April to June 2026, titled "Gribouille, a Rising Star". A short caption notes the chart itself was drawn with Gribouille, the grammar of graphics for Typst. A luminous gold step trail rises from zero across a long flat run labelled "Quietly built in private", lifts at a gold dashed marker labelled "Made public 17th of May", then climbs through dashed release markers tagged v0.1.0, v0.2.0 and v0.3.0 to a final amber spike of 178 stars, annotated "+99 in a day". Each daily count is drawn as a small star glyph, and a gold shooting-star fan sweeps up into the peak. The y axis counts stars in steps of 25, each tick marked with a star; the x axis spans April, May and June 2026. 1890×2126 472 KB
