pimpmyplt 0.0.4

Pimp up my matplotlib plots

PimpMyPLT

This package adds an pythonic way to modify your matplotlib.rcParams .

Installation

> pip install pimpmyplt

Usage

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import pimpmyplt
from pimpmyplt.pimps import PimpUseTeX, PimpTightLayout, PimpSaveFig

modifications = [
    PimpUseTeX(),
    PimpTightLayout(),
    PimpSaveFig(format="png", dpi=400),
]
composed = pimpmyplt.compose(modifications)
plt.rcParams.update(composed)

print(dict(composed))

{'savefig.format': 'png', 'savefig.dpi': 400, 'figure.autolayout': True, 'text.usetex': True, 'font.family': 'serif', 'font.serif': 'cm'}

Why?

Well, good question as there are easy ways to modify the rcParams. PimpMyPLT is just a bit more pythonic. It's easy to write your own Pimper class (like PimpUseTeX , ...) and add functionality. But this project is in a very early development stage, so don't rely on it...
