alltheplots - Quick & Automatic Plots for All Array Dimensionalities

Report Bug · Request Feature

About the Project

alltheplots provides an extremely simple Python interface for creating quick visualizations from numerical arrays, automatically detecting dimensionality (1D, 2D, 3D, 4D, nD) and providing commonly used plots.

The core goal of alltheplots is to abstract away the plotting details, letting you instantly visualize your data without having to remember specific plot types or parameters. It wraps seaborn and matplotlib, providing a user-friendly layer which typically sensible default plots.

• Simple: Single public .plot() function.
• Automatic: Detects array dimensionality and chooses appropriate plots automatically.
• Flexible: Supports numpy-like arrays from libraries such as numpy, pytorch, TensorFlow, jax, and cupy seamlessly.
• Minimal dependencies: built on top of matplotlib, numpy, scipy, seaborn, scikit-learn, and umap-learn.

Installation

You can install the latest release using pip:

pip install alltheplots

Alternatively, install directly from source (Git required):

git clone https://github.com/gomezzz/alltheplots.git
cd alltheplots
pip install -e .

Examples

Below are a few quick examples demonstrating typical usage.

Basic Usage

Generate standard plots automatically based on the dimensionality of your data.

import numpy as np
from alltheplots import plot

data = np.random.randn(1000)
plot(data)

Saving Plot to File

You can easily save plots to file:

plot(data, filename="my_plot.png", dpi=300)

Custom Theme

Users are encouraged to manage the visual style externally by setting global themes in matplotlib or seaborn. For example:

import seaborn as sns
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
sns.set_theme(style="ticks", palette="deep")
plt.style.use("dark_background")

# Then call the plot function
plot(data)

This approach provides more flexibility and aligns with best practices for managing plot aesthetics.

Example Notebooks
