Replot
|
||
|
|
======
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This repo is an attempt for a better API to plot graphs with
|
||
|
|
[Matplotlib](http://matplotlib.org/) in Python.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Features
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
These are the current features. I will extend the module whenever I feel the
|
||
|
|
need to introduce new functions and methods. Please let me know about any bad
|
||
|
|
design in the API, or required feature!

|
||
|
|
<dt>Saner default plots</dt>
|
||
|
|
<dd>Matplotlib plots are quite ugly by default, colors are not really
|
||
|
|
suited for optimal black and white print, or ease reading for colorblind
|
||
|
|
people. This module imports and makes use of
|
||
|
|
[Seaborn](https://github.com/mwaskom/seaborn) for saner default params.</dd>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<dt>Support `with` statement</dt>
|
||
|
|
<dd>Ever got tired of having to start any figure with a call to
|
||
|
|
`matplotlib.pyplot.subplots()`? This module abstracts it using `with`
|
||
|
|
statement. New figures are defined by a `with` statement, and are `show`n
|
||
|
|
automatically upon leaving the `with` context.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<dt>Plot functions</dt>
|
||
|
|
<dd>Ever got annoyed by the fact that `matplotlib` can only plot point
|
||
|
|
series and not evaluate a function _à la_ Mathematica? This module let
|
||
|
|
you do things like `plot(sin, (-10, 10))` to plot a sine function between
|
||
|
|
-10 and 10.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<dt>Order of call of methods is no longer important</dt>
|
||
|
|
<dd>When calling a method from `matplotlib`, it is directly applied to the
|
||
|
|
figure, and not deferred to the final render call. Then, if calling
|
||
|
|
`matplotlib.pyplot.legend()` **before** having actually `plot`ted
|
||
|
|
anything, it will fail. This is not the case with this module, as it
|
||
|
|
abstracts on top of `matplotlib` and do the actual render only when the
|
||
|
|
figure is to be `show`n. Even after having called the `show` method, you
|
||
|
|
can still change everything in your figure!</dd>

## Examples

A more up to date doc is still to be written, but you can have a look at the
|
||
|
|
`Examples.ipynb` [Jupyter](https://github.com/jupyter/notebook/) notebook for
|
||
|
|
examples.
