mpl-gradients 0.1.0

Gradient fills for Matplotlib charts using Agg filters

mpl-gradients

A lightweight, zero-dependency library to add linear gradient fills to Matplotlib charts. Solves matplotlib/matplotlib#30958.

Features

• Vertical Gradients: Fade from Top to Bottom.
• Horizontal Gradients: Fade from Left to Right.
• Diagonal Gradients: Fade from Corner to Corner.
• Alpha Blending: Correctly handles transparency.

Installation

You can install directly from GitHub:

pip install git+[https://github.com/sanrishi/mpl-gradients.git](https://github.com/sanrishi/mpl-gradients.git)

## Quick start 
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from mpl_gradients import LinearGradient

fig, ax = plt.subplots()
ax.bar([0, 1, 2], [10, 20, 15])

# Create a gradient (Top-Left Navy -> Bottom-Right Lime)
gradient = LinearGradient("navy", "lime", direction="diagonal")

# Apply to bars
for bar in ax.containers[0]:
    bar.set_agg_filter(gradient)

plt.show()

## Requirements
