Matplotlib Style for Mathematica

Where to start for Mathematica-standard publication-quality plots in python.

(TODO: add example plots)

Mathematica has an ever-evolving brand guide for publications, presentations, and client-deliverable products. The mprstyle package applies a simple stylesheet to matplotlib and seaborn plots to match, as closely as possible, the specifications in the Mathematica brand guide. It also provides helper functions for formatting axis tick labels, color maps that match the Mathematica brand color scheme, 508-compliant categorical color scales, and so on.

Installation

Install this package directly from github using pipenv:

$ pipenv install -e "git+https://github.com/mathematica-mpr/mplstyle-mathematica@v0.0.1#egg=mplstyle-mathematica"

Usage

Apply the style to matplotlib and seaborn plots by importing the mprstyle module and calling apply():

import mprstyle
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

mprstyle.apply("default")  # or "508"

f, a = plt.subplots()
x = list(range(0, 6, 0.01))
y1 = [sin(_) for _ in x]
y2 = [cos(_) for _ in x]
a.plot(x, y1, x, y2)
f.show()
