This package creates clean and beautiful plots that work on light and dark backgrounds.
Inspired by the work of [Edward Tufte](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Tufte).
To use, install with
```
pip install dufte
```
and simply select the `dufte` style:
```python
import dufte
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
# global setting:
plt.style.use(dufte.style)
# with a context manager:
with plt.style.context(dufte.style_bar):
# ...
pass
```
Check out `dufte.legend()`, `dufte.ylabel()`, and `dufte.show_bar_values()` for more
duftiness.
#### Comparison with default Matplotlib
See [here](tests/create_comparison.py) for how to create the below plots.

### Background
[](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/xdoc/anidddebgkllnnnnjfkmjcaallemhjee)
The position $`x_i`$ of the line annotations is computed as the solution of a
non-negative least-squares problem
```math
\begin{align}
\frac{1}{2}\sum_i (x_i - t_i)^2 \to \min_x,\\
(x_i - x_j)^2 \ge a^2 \quad \forall i,j.
\end{align}
```
where $`a`$ is the minimum distance between two entries and $`t_i`$ is the target
position.
