A collection of small tweaks to improve Python / plotting

How do I install?

• Clone this repository, then enter the folder in the command line terminal.
• Enter pip install -e . within the niceplots folder.

How do I get set up?

• Use import niceplots at the top of a file where you would like to use any function defined in this package.
• Use niceplots.setRCParams() to set some matplotlib defaults for nice looking plots.
• Use niceplots.all() after all the plot commands to apply the niceplot standards on the figure.
• To use the Matlab colormap "parula", execute from niceplots import parula then use parula.parula_map as your colormap within your plotting script. See the contour plot example code for an example of this.
