mpl-sizes 0.0.2

Default figure sizes for matplotlib.

mpl_sizes

A lightweight tool for setting figsize and font sizes in matplotlib, with support for:

• ICLR
• ICML
• NeurIPS
• Informatics thesis

Installation

Install via pip:

pip install mpl-sizes

Install from source:

git clone [e-mail]:BayesWatch/mpl_sizes.git
cd mpl_sizes 
python setup.py install

Usage

In your plotting script:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from mpl_sizes import get_format

formatter = get_format("InfThesis") # options: ICLR, ICML, NeurIPS, InfThesis

fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=formatter.text_width_plot())

Formatters have two methods:

• text_width_plot - for full pagewidth plots (e.g. in double column, this would be a full width plot)
• line_width_plot - for plots the width of the lines of text

and font size will automatically be set correctly.

A full example is given in example.py.

You can also set aspect ratio to be: "narrow", "normal", "wide", or "equal".

Aspect ratios

You can also set aspect ratio to be: "narrow", "normal", "wide", or "equal".

e.g.

A single column width plot for ICML:

A double column width plot in wide aspect ratio:
