myplotlib

matplotlib binder with custom styles and routines for fast plotting. see previews of available styles.

installation

pip install myplotlib

usage

loading style, fonts & colormaps

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from myplotlib import register

register()

plt.style.use(STYLE)
# STYLE can be:
# - fancy.dark, fancy.light
# - classic.dark, classic.light
# - mono.dark, mono.light
# - guttenberg.dark, guttenberg.light
# - soviet
# - latex

# you may also combine the styles:
plt.style.use([STYLE1, STYLE2])

# and you can temporarily load the style:
with plt.style.context(STYLE):
    plt.plot(...)

register() loads the bundled styles, fonts, and colormaps into Matplotlib. importing myplotlib still registers them for backward compatibility, but the explicit call keeps linters from flagging an unused side-effect import.

auxiliary plotting functions

import myplotlib.plots as myplt
# type for docstring:
myplt?

# for specific function:
myplt.plot2d?

# preview custom styles with built-in functions
import myplotlib.tests as mypltest
# type for docstring:
mypltest?

the guttenberg styles mimic renaissance-era book illustrations: old-style lettering (P22 Operina Pro, with EB Garamond as fallback for missing glyphs), imperfect hand-drawn lines, and a single-ink line cycle. they pair well with myplt.hatchedCircle, which shades circles with engraving-style hatching (optionally only the crescent shadow, as on old drawings of moon phases):

with plt.style.context("guttenberg.light"):
    fig, ax = plt.subplots()
    ax.set_aspect("equal")
    myplt.hatchedCircle(ax, (0, 0), 1, angle=45, spacing=0.15)
    myplt.hatchedCircle(ax, (2.5, 0), 1, shade_from=0, shade_depth=0.8)

for more usage examples checkout the tests/ submodule.
