 Functions for data visualization in matplotlib





  

  

  

  

  

 📚 API 



Can be installed using `pip install dvu` and then imported with `import dvu`. 

You can also just copy the relatively short source code for the functions (easily viewable [here](https://csinva.io/data-viz-utils/docs/dvu.html)). 

Helps create a bunch of different plots such as these:

One particularly useful function is `dvu.line_legend()` which replaces a typical matplotlib legend with labels for each line:

| Using `plt.legend()`                                | Using `dvu.line_legend()`                      |

| --------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------- |

Another one is `dvu.invert_plot()` which can be called after generating a plot to invert everything besides the line colors

| Original plot                                  | After `dvu.invert_plot()`                           |
