Installation

pip install --upgrade python_to_latex

Usage examples:

Below there are some small examples how to use the provided functions. Detailed explanation of each function can be found by using

  import python_to_latex as p2l
  help(p2l.<function_name>)

Printing a matrix:

      import python_to_latex as p2l
      import numpy as np
      mat2lat(np.eye(2),matrix_style='bmatrix')

This will print the code block below and return the string to produce it.

   \begin{bmatrix}
     1 &   0\\ 
     0 &   1\\ 
   \end{bmatrix}

Printing table output:

     import python_to_latex as p2l
     numeric_list_to_tabularx([[1,2,3],[4,5,6]],heading=['A','B','c'])

The above code will print the code block below and return the string to produce it.

      \begin{tabularx}{\linewidth}{S[table-auto-round,table-omit-exponent,fixed-exponent=0]S[table-auto-round,table-omit-exponent,fixed-exponent=0]S[table-auto-round,table-omit-exponent,fixed-exponent=0]} \toprule
      {A} & {B} & {C}\\ \midrule
      1 & 2 & 3\\
      4 & 5 & 6\\\bottomrule 
      \end{tabularx}

Saving a matplotlib figure:

     import python_to_latex as p2l
     import numpy as np
     import matplotlib
     import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

     x = np.arange(15)
     y1 = 2*x
     y2 = x+5
     y3 = x

     fig1,plt1 = plt.subplots(nrows=1,ncols=2)
     plt1[0].plot(x,y1)
     plt1[0].plot(x,y2,'.',label="line a")
     plt1[1].plot(x,y3,label="line 1")
     plt1[0].set_ylabel('$\lambda_2$')
     plt1[1].set_xlabel('$b$')
     plt1[1].set_ylabel('$\lambda_N$')
     plt1[1].set_xlabel('$N$')
     plt1[0].legend(loc=1)
     plt1[0].set_label("test")
     fig1.show()

     fig2pgf(fig1,"test",retain_color=True,retain_linestyle=True)

The code above generates a simgle matplotlib figure and then saves that figure in PGF format in a file called test.tikz. The saved file can be loaded in LaTex.
