About
The figure-scale library is designed to help you create publication-quality figures with precise size control in Matplotlib.
It provides a convenient way to specify figure dimensions in various units (inches, millimeters, centimeters, points, etc.) and ensures consistent sizing across different plotting contexts.
Key Features:
- Multiple unit support: Specify dimensions in inches, millimeters, centimeters, points, and more, it is extendable by custom user provided units for convenience
- Flexible sizing: Define figures using width/height, or width/aspect, or height/aspect
- Easy integration: Works seamlessly with matplotlib's existing figure creation methods
- Context management: Use as context managers or decorators for localized figure sizing
- Lightweight: Minimal dependencies, built on top of Matplotlib only
Check out the documentation for more details on how to use the library and its features: https://docs.fschuch.com/figure-scale.
