Documentation: http://django-matplotlib.readthedocs.org/

Requirements

Django 1.11+, <3.0; Python 3.5+, <3.8.

Quick start

1. Clone git repository to place where Django can find it:

pip install django-matplotlib

2. Add “django_matplotlib” to your INSTALLED_APPS setting like this:

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    ...
    'django_matplotlib',
    ...
]

3. Use MatplotlibField in your models.py, e.g.:

from django.db import models
from django_matplotlib.fields import MatplotlibFigureField

class MyModelWithFigure(models.Model):
    # ... other fields
    # figures.py should be in the same directory where models.py is placed.
    # see  ./django_matplotlib/figures.py for example.
    fig = MatplotlibFigureField(figure='test_figure', verbose_name='figure',
                                silent=True)
    # ... other fields

4. Generate and apply migrations.

Note

It is assumed that you have Django installed already. Additionally, you will need to install matplotlib to use MatplotlibFigureField in your models.
