Welcome to Matpyxplot

What is it?

Matpyxplot is a wrapper for pyx with a matplotlib-like syntax. Latex quality figures can be generated directly in PDF and EPS formats with simple code.

How to Use?

Basic steps involved in creating figures are:

    from matpyxplot import plt

  1. Create a canvas

     canvas = plt.Canvas(...)

  2. Create 'floating' graphs

     g1 = plt.Graph(...)

  3. Add plots to them

     g1.plot(....)

  4. (optional) Specify axis parameters

     g1.setXAxisParams(...)
 g1.setXAxisParams(...)

  5. (optional) Insert a legend

     g1.showLegend(....)

  6. Arrange the graphs in the canvas

     canvas.addGraph(...) 
 canvas.addGraphBelowOf(...)
 canvas.addGraphRightOf(...)

  7. Write the PDF/EPS file

     canvas.writePDF()
 canvas.writeEPS()

Limitations:

  1. Cannot produce empty marker symbols(can be circumvented with specifying markerfacecolor to be white).
  2. Logarithm axis are not supported as of now.
  3. The set of possible colors, markers, line styles are limited.
