latex-plot-styles 0.1.0

A simple helper package to adjust matplotlib plots to fit in LaTeX documents

latex_plot_styles

This project can be used to makte plots created with matplotlib nicer. It simplifys the styling options by providing a nice default configuration for thesis.

setup

latex_plot_styles can pe installed using pip:

pip install latex_plot_styles

To use the full functionality you need a running LaTeX installation on your system. On Debian based systems this can be installed using:

sudo apt install texlive-full

usage

Instead of configuring the styles and sizes for all your plots you can just do

import latex_plot_styles as lps
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

lps.set_style()
fig, ax = plt.subplots(1, 1, figsize=lps.get_size())
...
plt.savefig("your_fig.pdf", bbox_inches="tight")

configure your own styles

To configure your own styles you have to create an object from class Config and give this config object to lps.set_style(your_config_object)

warning

This is just a small side project to simlify generating plots for my masters thesis. There are no automated tests, this is not ment for production, but feel free to use and adapt it for your own stuff.
