``gpxplotter`` is a Python package for reading .gpx [1]_ files and make some simple plots.
It uses `matplotlib <http://matplotlib.org/>`_ to create some simple predefined plots and
`mplleaflet <https://github.com/jwass/mplleaflet>`_ for making maps.


Examples
========

Simple example for plotting an elevation profile with heart rate
----------------------------------------------------------------

.. code:: python

from gpxplotter import read_gpx_file
from gpxplotter.mplplotting import plot_elevation_hr_multi_dist, save_fig
from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
plt.style.use('seaborn-poster')


for track in read_gpx_file('test.gpx'):
for i, segment in enumerate(track['segments']):
fig = plot_elevation_hr_multi_dist(track, segment)
save_fig(fig, 'test-{}.png'.format(i))

.. image:: examples/images/test-ele-multi.png
:scale: 50 %
:alt: Example output
:align: center

Simple example for showing a track in a map, colored by heart rate
------------------------------------------------------------------

.. code:: python

from gpxplotter import read_gpx_file
from gpxplotter.mplplotting import plot_map, save_map


for track in read_gpx_file('test.gpx'):
for i, segment in enumerate(track['segments']):
fig = plot_map(track, segment, zcolor='pulse')
save_map(fig, 'test-{}.html'.format(i))


.. image:: examples/images/test-hr-map.png
:scale: 50 %
:alt: Example output
:align: center


Installation
============

gpxplot can be installed via pip:

``pip install gpxplot``


Note
====
The intended usage is for displaying heart rate information together with
other information. If the gpx file does not comtain heart rate information,
the source code will have to be modified accordingly.
