Creates clean and beautiful plots that work on light and dark backgrounds
dufte
This package creates clean and beautiful plots that work on light and dark backgrounds. Inspired by the work of Edward Tufte.
To use, simply select the dufte style:
import dufte
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
# global setting:
plt.style.use(dufte.style)
# with a context manager:
with plt.style.context(dufte.style_bar):
# ...
pass
Check out dufte.legend(), dufte.ylabel(), and dufte.show_bar_values() for more duftiness.
