iPython Magic for Easy Dark/Light Figures

easydarkfigs - iPython Magic for easy Dark/Light Matplotlib figures

Installation

easydarkfigs can be installed through pip via

pip install easydarkfigs

Usage

Within an active iPython or Jupyter environment:

import easydarkfigs

Then, at the beginning of a cell where a Matplotlib figure is created:

%%savefig_dark_light figname.ext
# Code
# to
# create
# figure

This will save two versions of the created figure, using the easy-dark and easy-light Matplotlib style files included with this package.

To customize these default styles, edit them in your matplotlib directory.

To change the default figure save location or styles to use:

%set_darkstyle new-style

%set_darkfigdir my/dir/

%set_lightstyle new-style

%set_lightfigdir my/dir/

The code also makes a boolean variable is_dark available during execution, the value of which changes depending on which version of the plot is being created.

%%savefig_dark_light figname.ext
if is_dark:
    title = 'This Is A Dark Plot'
else:
    title = 'This Is A Light Plot'
plt.title(title)
