TUDPlot

A package for matplotlib plotting in the corporate style of the TU Darmstadt.

Installation

Make sure dependencies are installed:

• Python 3.5
• matplotlib
• numpy

Then in the source directory run:

python3 setup.py install

Usage

Use the function activate to activate TU styled plotting:

import tudplot
tudplot.activate()

A call with no arguments will activate a nominal color range of 6 distinct TU colors. One can specify the keyword full to enable a range of continuous colors from the full TU color spectrum.

tudplot.activate(full=10)

TUDPlot also comes with a basic exporter saveagr, to save the current matplotlib figure in xmgrace agr format.

from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
fig = plt.figure()
fig.plot([1,2,3], label='Test')
# Do more plotting here...
# When the figure is complete:
tudplot.saveagr('test.agr')
