# plottify

[![PyPI](https://img.shields.io/pypi/v/plottify.svg?logo=pypi&logoColor=white&label=PyPI)](https://pypi.org/project/plottify/)

The plottify package is makes matplotlib plots more legible. It's a thin wrapper around [matplotlib](https://matplotlib.org/) that automatically adjusts font sizes, scatter point sizes, line widths, etc. according to the figure size.

## Installation

```

pip install plottify

```

## Usage

The plottify interface is extremely simple and relies on one central function, `autosize()`. After you've created a plot, simply call `autosize()` and the sizes will be adjusted:

```python

from plottify import autosize

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

plt.scatter(x, y)

autosize()

plt.show()

```

If you have a matplotlib figure object, you can pass it as an argument to `autosize`:

```python

autosize(fig)

```

## Demonstration

By default, matplotlib sets the sizes of these objects to pre-specified values, regardless of the figure size. This can result in tiny fonts or sizes for larger figures.

Plottify's `autosize` function adjusts these sizes automatically to make them more legible. When we change the figure size, plottify automatically adjusts the objects' sizes.
