rikabplotlib

Matplotlib style sheets and plotting helpers for physics figures. A figure made with newplot comes out at the size it will occupy on the page, in the font it will be typeset in, so nothing gets rescaled between the notebook and the paper.

pip install -e .

import numpy as np
from rikabplotlib import newplot, hist_with_errors, hist_stack, ratio_panel, legend, BLUE, GREEN

fig, main, pull = newplot(ratio = True)

model = hist_stack(main, [continuum, reducible], bins = 40, range = (100, 180), colors = [BLUE, GREEN], labels = ["Continuum", "Reducible"])
data = hist_with_errors(main, measured, bins = 40, range = (100, 180), color = "black", label = "Data")
ratio_panel(pull, data.centers, data.counts, model.counts, data.errors, model.errors, mode = "pull")

main.set_ylabel("Events / 2 GeV")
pull.set_xlabel(r"$m_{\gamma\gamma}$ [GeV]")
legend(main)

Everything below is worked through end to end in examples/rikabplotlib_examples.ipynb.

Colors

The style sheet cycle is available by name as COLORS, or as BLUE, GREEN, ORANGE, RED, PURPLE, DARK, GRAY, or as palette(n) for the first n of the cycle.

Style sheets

Four sheets ship with the package, selected by newplot from scale and use_tex: rikab_full, rikab_full_notex, rikab_column, rikab_column_notex. The TeX sheets set text.usetex and Computer Modern; the notex sheets are sans-serif and need no TeX installation. Applying one by hand is plt.style.use("rikabplotlib.rikab_full").

Versioning

The version comes from git describe through hatch-vcs, so tag a release to get a real version number:

git tag v0.0.4
