matplot-fmt-pi 1.5.0

Format numbers as multiples of Pi

Matplotlib Format Pi

Create locator and formatter instances to make x/y labels and ticks correspond to multiples of pi.

The MultiplePi class provides methods to seamlessly tell matplotlib to create and format tick labels as multiples of pi.

In addition, the MultiplePi class allows a user to change the denominator of pi.

Multiples of π/{2, 3, 4, ...} can be represented if needed.

Examples

Simply, the instance can be asssigned a denominator of pi then passed to matplotlib.

The parameters can also be modified to adjust the output to something more sophisticated.

Todo

1. Raise error for improper usage (plugging in 1/4 for a multiple of 1/3)
