Matplotlib stylesheets to replicate old scientific figure styles

oldplotlib

A Matplotlib stylesheet to replicate the figure style of Changeux and Kittel in:

Changeux, J.-P., Thiery, J., Tung, Y. & Kittel, C. ON THE COOPERATIVITY OF BIOLOGICAL MEMBRANES. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences 57, 335–341 (1967).

Specifically, the style is to match figure 2:

How to Use

There are two ways to use this stylesheet for your figures

First, download the stylesheet, then

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.style.use('/path/to/the/oldplotlib.mplstyle')

The second way is a a simple wrapper over matplotlib.pyplot that essentially types the previous option in for you. Instead of doing import matplotlib.pyplot as plt in your file, use

import oldplotlib as plt
