Tufte-style plots for matplotlib

matplotlib-tufte

matplotlib-tufte is a python module to create Tufte-like plots with matplotlib.

Inspiration is drawn from Edward Tufte: The Visual Display of Quantitative Information.

Requirements

• python >= 3.7
• matplotlib

Examples

See examples/Basic.ipynb for some small examples of tuftelike plots.

Usage

Create your plots with matplotlib as usual. Then, run tuftelike.adjust with the x- and y-values of your plot to adjust it in-place.

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import tuftelike

xs, ys = [1, 2, 3, 4], [1, 4, 2, 3]
plt.plot(xs, ys)

tuftelike.adjust(xs, ys)
plt.savefig("example.png")

Tuftelike needs the x- and y-values because matplotlib does not store these internally. The above code produces:
