This will install itudplot for your python in your local folder (so you do no break system packages, despite what "--break-system-packages" implicates)

pip install --user --break-system-packages git+https://gitea.pkm.physik.tu-darmstadt.de/IPKM/python-tudplot.git

Another way is to use a venv for your project:

python3 -m venv venv
source ./venv/bin/activate
pip install git+https://gitea.pkm.physik.tu-darmstadt.de/IPKM/python-tudplot.git

or use your existing venv.

Installation from source

Download the source as zip file or clone it with git: git clone https://gitea.pkm.physik.tu-darmstadt.de/IPKM/python-tudplot.git

Then in the unpacked source directory run:

pip install --user --break-system-packages .

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.

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