mplhep 1.1.0

Matplotlib styles for HEP

A set of helpers for matplotlib to more easily produce plots typically needed in HEP as well as style them in way that's compatible with current collaboration requirements (ROOT-like plots for CMS, ATLAS, LHCb, ALICE).

Installation

pip install mplhep

Documentation and Getting Started

A tutorial given at PyHEP 2020 is available as a binder here or you can watch the recording here.
