NicePlots
A collection of nice styles and helper functions for matplotlib
How do I install?
NicePlots can be pip installed directly from PyPI

If you want to make changes
- Clone this repository, then enter the folder in the command line terminal.
- Enter
pip install -e .within theniceplotsfolder.
Font installation
As of v2.6.0, NicePlots now comes packaged with the fonts required for its custom styles, so you don't need to install them yourself.
How do I get set up?
import matplotlib.pyplot as pltandimport niceplotsat the top of a file where you would like to use any function defined in this package.- Use
plt.style.use(niceplots.get_style())to set some defaults for nice-looking plots. You can also try passing different styles toget_style(), such as NicePlots'"james-dark"or any of matplotlib's styles (see the function's documentation for a full list of available NicePlots styles). - Take advantage of NicePlots' helper functions, including (but not limited to)
adjust_spines,horiz_bar, andplot_nested_pie, which are all documented in the examples gallery. - Admire your beautiful data.
Do you have docs?
Sort of, you can find our examples gallery and API documentation here
Help, my old NicePlots code doesn't work anymore!
We made a couple of changes to the API in version 2.0.0, most of them can be fixed with a simple find and replace. Check the release notes for more details.
