This package includes some useful or beautiful extensions to
[Matplotlib](https://matplotlib.org/). Most of those features could be in
Matplotlib itself, but I haven't had time to PR yet. If you're eager, let me
know and I'll support the effort.
Install with
```sh
pip install matplotx[all]
```
and use in Python with
```python
import matplotx
```
See below for what matplotx can do.
### Clean line plots (dufte)
matplotlib
matplotx.styles.dufte,
matplotx.ylabel_top,
matplotx.line_labels
matplotx.styles.duftify(matplotx.styles.dracula)
The middle plot is created with
```python
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import matplotx
import numpy as np
# create data
rng = np.random.default_rng(0)
offsets = [1.0, 1.50, 1.60]
labels = ["no balancing", "CRV-27", "CRV-27*"]
x0 = np.linspace(0.0, 3.0, 100)
y = [offset * x0 / (x0 + 1) + 0.1 * rng.random(len(x0)) for offset in offsets]
# plot
with plt.style.context(matplotx.styles.dufte):
for yy, label in zip(y, labels):
plt.plot(x0, yy, label=label)
plt.xlabel("distance [m]")
matplotx.ylabel_top("voltage [V]") # move ylabel to the top, rotate
matplotx.line_labels() # line labels to the right
plt.show()
```
The three matplotx ingredients are:
- `matplotx.styles.dufte`: A minimalistic style
- `matplotx.ylabel_top`: Rotate and move the the y-label
- `matplotx.line_labels`: Show line labels to the right, with the line color
You can also "duftify" any other style (see below) with
```python
matplotx.styles.duftify(matplotx.styles.dracula)
```

### Clean bar plots
matplotlib
dufte
dufte with matplotx.show_bar_values()
The right plot is created with
```python
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import matplotx
labels = ["Australia", "Brazil", "China", "Germany", "Mexico", "United\nStates"]
vals = [21.65, 24.5, 6.95, 8.40, 21.00, 8.55]
xpos = range(len(vals))
with plt.style.context(matplotx.styles.dufte_bar):
plt.bar(xpos, vals)
plt.xticks(xpos, labels)
matplotx.show_bar_values("{:.2f}")
plt.title("average temperature [°C]")
plt.show()
```
The two matplotx ingredients are:
- `matplotx.styles.dufte_bar`: A minimalistic style for bar plots
- `matplotx.show_bar_values`: Show bar values directly at the bars
### Extra styles
matplotx contains numerous extra color schemes, e.g.,
[Dracula](https://draculatheme.com/), [Nord](https://www.nordtheme.com/),
[gruvbox](https://github.com/morhetz/gruvbox), and
[Solarized](https://ethanschoonover.com/solarized/),
[the revised Tableau colors](https://www.tableau.com/about/blog/2016/7/colors-upgrade-tableau-10-56782).
```python
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import matplotx
# use everywhere:
plt.style.use(matplotx.styles.dracula)
# use with context:
with plt.style.context(matplotx.styles.dracula):
pass
```

### Smooth contours
| 
| 
|
| :--------------------------------------------------------------------------: | :-------------------------------------------------------------------------------: |
| `plt.contourf` | `matplotx.contours()` |
Sometimes, the sharp edges of `contour[f]` plots don't accurately represent the
smoothness of the function in question. Smooth contours, `contours()`, serves as a drop-in replacement.
```python
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import matplotx
def rosenbrock(x):
return (1.0 - x[0]) ** 2 + 100.0 * (x[1] - x[0] ** 2) ** 2
im = matplotx.contours(
rosenbrock,
(-3.0, 3.0, 200),
(-1.0, 3.0, 200),
log_scaling=True,
cmap="viridis",
outline="white",
)
plt.gca().set_aspect("equal")
plt.colorbar(im)
plt.show()
```
### Contour plots for functions with discontinuities
| 
| 
|
| :-------------------------------------------------------------------------: | :------------------------------------------------------------------------------: |
| `plt.contour` | `matplotx.contour(max_jump=1.0)` |
Matplotlib has problems with contour plots of functions that have discontinuities. The
software has no way to tell discontinuities and very sharp, but continuous cliffs apart,
and contour lines will be drawn along the discontinuity.
matplotx improves upon this by adding the parameter `max_jump`. If the difference between
two function values in the grid is larger than `max_jump`, a discontinuity is assumed
and no line is drawn. Similarly, `min_jump` can be used to highlight the discontinuity.
As an example, take the function `imag(log(Z))` for complex values Z. Matplotlib's
contour lines along the negative real axis are wrong.
```python
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
import matplotx
x = np.linspace(-2.0, 2.0, 100)
y = np.linspace(-2.0, 2.0, 100)
X, Y = np.meshgrid(x, y)
Z = X + 1j * Y
vals = np.imag(np.log(Z))
# plt.contour(X, Y, vals, levels=[-2.0, -1.0, 0.0, 1.0, 2.0]) # draws wrong lines
matplotx.contour(X, Y, vals, levels=[-2.0, -1.0, 0.0, 1.0, 2.0], max_jump=1.0)
matplotx.discontour(X, Y, vals, min_jump=1.0, linestyle=":", color="r")
plt.gca().set_aspect("equal")
plt.show()
```

### spy plots (betterspy)
Show sparsity patterns of sparse matrices or write them to image files.
Example:
```python
import matplotx
from scipy import sparse
A = sparse.rand(20, 20, density=0.1)
# show the matrix
plt = matplotx.spy(
A,
# border_width=2,
# border_color="red",
# colormap="viridis"
)
plt.show()
# or save it as png
matplotx.spy(A, filename="out.png")
```
| 
| 
|
| :----------------------------------------------------------: | :------------------------------------------------------------: |
| no colormap | viridis |
There is a command-line tool that can be used to show
[matrix-market](https://math.nist.gov/MatrixMarket/) or
[Harwell-Boeing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harwell-Boeing_file_format) files:
```
matplotx spy msc00726.mtx [out.png]
```
See `matplotx spy -h` for all options.
