JarvisPLOT 1.1.2

JarvisPLOT: YAML-driven plotting engine

JarvisPLOT

JarvisPLOT is a lightweight, Python/Matplotlib-based plotting framework developed for Jarvis-HEP,
but it can also be used as a standalone scientific plotting tool.

It provides a simple command-line interface (CLI) to generate publication-quality figures from YAML configuration files, with most layout and style decisions handled by predefined profiles and style cards.

Installation

pip install jarvisplot

Command-Line Usage

Display help information:

jplot -h

Run JarvisPLOT with one or more YAML configuration files:

jplot path/to/config.yaml

Rebuild local cache for the current project workdir:

jplot path/to/config.yaml --rebuild-cache

Project Workdir and Cache

• You can set project.workdir in YAML.
• If output.dir is omitted, JarvisPLOT now defaults to <workdir>/plots/.
• Data cache is stored in <workdir>/.cache/.
• Profiling pipelines are prebuilt once and reused from cache when source fingerprint and profile settings are unchanged.
• Profiling uses a fast two-stage grid reduction (pregrid + render bin) for large datasets.

Example: SUSYRun2 Ternary Plots

jplot ./bin/SUSYRun2_EWMSSM.yaml
jplot ./bin/SUSYRun2_GEWMSSM.yaml

Note: The data file paths inside the YAML files must be updated to match your local setup.

Notes

• Figures are saved automatically to the output paths defined in the YAML configuration.
• Common output formats include PNG and PDF (backend-dependent).
• JarvisPLOT works in headless environments (SSH, batch jobs) without any GUI backend.
