Demo: Automate Scientific Plots with Python and Make

This is a demo project to go with the blogpost Automate Scientific Plots with Python and Make.

Reports

• paper.pdf
• slides.pdf

How to Create the Reports

First set up a Python environment with Numpy, Pandas and Matplotlib. I recommend Conda, in which case the following commands will create and activate an environment.

conda env create -f environment.yml
conda activate demo-plots-python-make

Now you can produce the paper and slides from source with

make

Note

For the LaTeX rendering, you will need a working TeX installation with pdflatex in your PATH. This is not included in the Conda environment.
