About

A small library for extracting plots used in scholarly communication.

Install

$ pip install plotextractor

Usage

To extract plots from a tarball:

>>> from plotextractor import process_tarball
>>> plots = process_tarball('./1503.07589.tar.gz')
>>> print(plots[0])
{
    'captions': [

The dashed curves show the results accounting for statistical uncertainties only, with all nuisance parameters associated with systematic uncertainties fixed to their best-fit values. The 1 and 2 standard deviation limits are indicated by the intersections of the horizontal lines at 1 and 4, respectively, with the log-likelihood scan curves.',
