The first release to use: 0.0.1 and 0.0.2 only held the name on PyPI.

Figures

  • Line, scatter and error bar plots, histograms, images and color meshes
    with color bars, notes of one or several lines with or without an arrow,
    reference lines and shaded ranges.
  • Exact sizes in mm and pt; several panels in a grid, insets, shared axes,
    a second y axis on the right; panel letters for journals.
  • Axes in plain terms: range, linear, log or symlog, major ticks every n
    with minor ticks between them, values shown with an SI prefix (Hz drawn
    as kHz), tick marks inward or outward and on all sides.
  • Line widths of the frame, the ticks and the grid, and the grid's color and
    line style; an error bar plot's line has a width apart from its bars.
  • Export as PDF, SVG and PNG.

Data

  • CSV with automatic detection of delimiter, decimal comma, header and unit
    rows and text encoding; NumPy .npy and .npz.
  • Each file is recorded with its SHA-256: a changed or moved file is
    reported, and its new version or new place taken on request.
  • A data file can be removed with the plots that draw from it.

Fits

  • Linear, polynomial, Gaussian, Lorentzian, exponential, or an expression of
    your own, weighted by the error bars, with residuals in a panel below.
  • Fit only a range of x; hold parameters fixed or within bounds; change a
    fit that is already there; copy the result.
  • Leave points out by right-clicking them, or have outliers found and left
    out on confirmation. The data file stays as it is.

The generated script

  • Every figure as a standalone Python script that needs only NumPy,
    Matplotlib and, for fits, SciPy, and reads as if a person wrote it. A test
    compares its output with figscribe's own pixel by pixel.

Working with it

  • Select in the figure or the contents list, edit in the property panel,
    undo every step. Zoom and pan with the mouse, one axis at a time over its
    frame; Use as axis range keeps the view.
  • An assistant that makes changes described in words: Claude, ChatGPT,
    Google Gemini or a local model, built in (figscribe[chat]) or through
    MCP (figscribe[mcp]). It sees names, never the data values.
    figscribe bench measures how well a model does.

Install: pipx install "figscribe[chat]" (or uv tool install "figscribe[chat]"), then run figscribe. Needs Python 3.11 or newer.
