plottingtools

A collection of tools that I use for plotting often enough (or with enough complexity) to necessitate creating a useful API.

Overview

This package is intended to make plotting as easy as possible for simple data science visualizations. It's essentially a wrapper around matplotlib and is designed to simplify the process of creating quick plots. While it's certainly not as powerful as using matplotlib directly, it hopefully makes it a lot easier to display information quickly.

This package does not rely on (or currently support) pandas DataFrames, and expects data to be in vector form (ideally a numpy ndarray).

What's new?

v1.0.0

• Object-oriented model for plotting
• More useful utilities
• Support for line plots
• Examples for line plots
• Better organization of examples

Functionality

Currently, this package does the following:

• Display data as bars on a single plot
  • Single/multi color
  • Scaled by a scalar or broadcastable array-like object
  • Shown as percentages
  • Text:
    • Titles
    • legends
    • X-axis labels
    • over-bar labels
  • Examples: located in plottingtools/examples/bars
• Display line plots
  • Single or multiple lines
  • Formatting options for each line
  • Labeling
  • Titles
  • Simple formatting of the figure
