Render matplotlib png images to a zip file
Project description
# PNG Renderer
For constructing a zip file of png images. I created this package as I had many plots associated from the output of a plotting script and wanted to keep them together. Similar to `matplotlib.backends.PdfPages` I wanted to associate the images, but using the `png` format, so I chose to zip the collection of images. I wanted png images as they contained large amounts of data which created extremely large pdf files.
## Example usage
``` python
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from pngrenderer import PNGRenderer
fig = plt.figure()
plt.plot(...)
# Save the resulting image(s) to "out.zip"
renderer = PNGRenderer("out")
# Save the first png image
renderer.savefig("first.png")
# Alternatively call .save_page
# renderer.save_page("first.png")
# Render the zip file to disk
renderer.render()
# Alternatively use the context manager
from pngrenderer import png_render
with png_render("out") as renderer:
renderer.savefig()
# The context manager calls the `render` method
```
## Requirements and installation
This package requires matplotlib, but no other packages
Installation: `pip install git+https://github.com/mindriot101/pngrenderer.git`
If this package ever makes it onto pypi then probably the installation will be `pip install matplotlib-pngrenderer`.
