# openscienceplot_matplotlib

The goal of this library is to allow you to share the raw-data from a (scientific) plot 

in an open way. 

In particular:

*   You choose the data that matters to you, and you choose how you organise the 

    data-file that you share.

*   Only open (and free!) data file-types are used.

*   Where possible, the amount of code you need to create the data-file is minimal.

>   A long-term gaol is to have similar libraries for different languages 

>   (e.g. Python/matplotlib, Matlab, ...)

>   and different file-type

>   (e.g. HDF5, yaml, JSON, ...)

>   to allow sharing data is a custom but still somewhat unified way.

# Usage

Please consider this minimal example

## Store to HDF5

```python

import numpy as np

import h5py

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

import openscienceplot_matplotlib as osp

with h5py.File('mydata.hdf5', 'w') as data:

    fig, ax = plt.subplots()

    x = np.linspace(0, 1, 1000)

    y = x ** 2

    handle = ax.plot(x, y, color='r', label='myplot')

    osp.write_h5py(data, 'data', handle)

    

    data['by'] = osp.info()

    fig.savefig('myplot.pdf')

    plt.close(fig)

```
