Matplotlib styles for scientific plotting

Hi there 👋

Here are some of my software projects:

• Related to RF engineering:
  • DispersionTransform: map dispersive waveguide data from the frequency- to distance-domain
  • CZT: calculate the Chirp Z-Transform, a flexible implementation of the Fast Fourier Transform
  • GradientModel: calculate the effective conductivity of a rough metallic surface using the Gradient Model
  • Mattis-Bardeen: calculate the surface impedance of a superconductor using Mattis-Bardeen theory
  • Waveguide: calculate the various properties of rectangular waveguides, e.g., phase constant, conductor loss, etc.
  • RF-tools: various tools for RF engineering, including useful command line tools
• Related to radio astronomy:
  • QMix: simulate quantum tunnneling in SIS junctions
• Other projects:
  • SciencePlots: format your Python/Matplotlib plots for scientific papers, theses and presentations

scienceplots's Issues

Is it possible to add support for CJK fonts

Currently, the legends & labels written in CJK characters can not be properly displayed, can this issue be fixed, or any way to override something to get it displayed ?

IEEE cycler limit

Hi! Just discovered this repo and love how helpful it is.

I've noticed the IEEE style has a detail that is annoying me. The default plot styles are this ones:

So it only allows up to 4 different plot styles. I've tried to change the cycles order using

from cycler import cycler
plt.rcParams.update({"axes.prop_cycle": cycler('linestyle', ['-', '--', ':', '-.'])*cycler('color', ['k', 'r', 'b', 'g'])})

to get the linestyles to iterate over the colors, creating up to 16 new ploting styles.

Maybe you want to change it in the repo.

Thanks for sharing your work!

Latex Option Clash when Saving Figure

Trying to save a figure using the savefig routine throws the following latex compilation error on my machine with MacTeX-2018 installed:

! LaTeX Error: Option clash for package graphicx.

Here is a minimal example that produces the failure.

import matplotlib as plt

with plt.style.context('science'):
    plt.plot([1, 2, 3, 4], [1, 2, 3, 4])
    plt.savefig('figure.eps', format='eps')

The compilation and subsequent saving work fine if the pgfplots packages is removed from the preamble directive in science.mplstyle.
I'm not sure how this change affects the figures.

How to keep the same color for two or more plots

Hello,
Thank you for this repo, it is amazing.
I have a question regarding the styles, say I use the ieee style to draw the graphs:

plt.style.use(['ieee', 'no-latex'])
plt.plot(x1,y1)
plt.plot(x2, y2)
plt.plot(x3, y3)

I will get the plots with three different line styles. How can I force for example y1 and y2 to be drawn with the same line style but y3 by another?
I could manually, add a linestyle attribute for each plot, but is there a way to use the previous style?

Thanks

Use SciencePlots in Google Colab

I was trying to get this to work in Google Colab for some hours until I found the solution.
Unlike the desktop you have to reload the style libraries to recognize and use the new *.mplstyle files.

!pip install SciencePlots
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.style.reload_library() # <<<<<<<<<<
plt.style.use(['science', 'no-latex'])

Maybe you can add this in the README under Installation if someone else wants to use SciencePlots in Google Colab and encounters the problem.
Thanks! Great library!

Creating grids and grey background on google colab

Hey.

I was using your package to create graphs for master thesis and has encountered some issues.

The figures doesn't seem to be created with the same layout as shown on the readme and in the examples.

I have imported the library and used the reload command.

I have used the following script to create a duplicate of the examples:

`def model(x, p):
return x ** (2 * p + 1) / (1 + x ** (2 * p))

pparam = dict(xlabel='Voltage (mV)', ylabel='Current ($\mu$A)')

x = np.linspace(0.75, 1.25, 201)

with plt.style.context(['science']):
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
for p in [10, 15, 20, 30, 50, 100]:
ax.plot(x, model(x, p), label=p)
ax.legend(title='Order')
ax.autoscale(tight=True)
ax.set(**pparam)
fig.savefig('fig1.jpeg',dpi=300)`

RuntimeError: LaTeX was not able to process the following string

Trying to reproduce the example:

import matplotlib
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
%matplotlib inline
plt.style.use(['science','ieee'])

x = np.linspace(0.75, 1.25, 201)

def model(x, p):
    return x ** (2 * p + 1) / (1 + x ** (2 * p))

fig, ax = plt.subplots()
for p in [10, 15, 20, 30, 50, 100]:
    ax.plot(x, model(x, p), label=p)
ax.legend(title=r'Order')
ax.set(xlabel=r'$V_0 / V_\mathrm{{gap}}$')
ax.set(ylabel=r'$I_\mathrm{{dc}}^0 / I_\mathrm{{gap}}$')
ax.autoscale(tight=True)
plt.show()

fig_width problem

I found that I couldn't control the width of the figure. Did I do something wrong?

code

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt


def function(x, p):
    return x ** (2 * p + 1) / (1 + x ** (2 * p))


pparam = dict(xlabel='Voltage (mV)', ylabel='Current ($\mu$A)')

x = np.linspace(0.75, 1.25, 201)

with plt.style.context(['science']):
    fig_width = 24 / 2.54  # 24cm
    fig_height = 6 / 2.54  # 6cm
    fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(fig_width, fig_height))
    for p in [10, 15, 20, 30, 50, 100]:
        ax.plot(x, function(x, p), label=p)
    ax.legend(title='Order')
    ax.autoscale(tight=True)
    ax.set(**pparam)
    fig.savefig('fig1.pdf')
    fig.savefig('fig1.jpg', dpi=300)

result

The width of figure is not 24cm, but 20.09cm.

"Science" style not found on Google Colab

Hey there!

Thanks for the amazing project! Really useful for upcoming submissions 😅

Though, I ran into an issue when trying it out on Google Colab. I pip installed the style library following the instructions on the README. I then wrote down

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

plt.style.use(['science','ieee'])

and it gave me the following error:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Any remedies for this would be awesome!

Thanks :)

Nature style not yet included with pip install

I had to add the 'nature' style manualy to the matplotlib/stylelib since it was not included in the pip install SciencePlots package.
Just a heads up

findfont: Font family ['serif'] not found. Falling back to DejaVu Sans.

os: win10
SciencePlots v1.0.9
matplotlib 3.3.0
python 3.8

I have put the NotoSerifSC fonts into "..\site-packages\matplotlib\mpl-data\fonts\ttf" and also try the following command:
import matplotlib.font_manager as fm fm._rebuild()

but still report "findfont: Font family ['serif'] not found. Falling back to DejaVu Sans.".

Manual installation

In "Installing SciencePlots manually", it seems to me that the command

cp styles/*/*.mplstyle ~/.matplotlib/stylelib/

is not sufficient because it doesn't copy the style-files that aren't in a directory and that are saved directy in "styles/". Which makes compilation fails because files are missing (science.mplstyle).

It seems to me that you have to add the command
cp styles/*/*.mplstyle ~/.matplotlib/stylelib/ && cp *.mplstyle ~/.matplotlib/stylelib/

Why not Times New Roman font?

Hi, I see many figures use Times New Roman font as default. Why don't you use it? If I want, how could I change the code? Thank you!

Styles not found in the style library

If you're using IPython and import matplotlib before installing SciencePlots, the style library won't be reloaded and therefore the styles won't be found.
Without restarting the kernel you can run

matplotlib.style.reload_library()

Maybe you could add this to setup script if running on IPython?

Failed to process string with tex because latex could not be found

Hi, I'm using it in Ubuntu 18.04, but I keep getting this error. Can you tell me why this is this? How can I fix it?

RuntimeError: Failed to process string with tex because latex could not be found

Why are there some problems with the displayed images when using the ieee style?

OSError: 'grid' not found in the style library and input is not a valid URL or path;

Is there a new version or something? why grid not available

with plt.style.context(['science', 'grid']):
    fig, ax = plt.subplots()
    for p in [10, 15, 20, 30, 50, 100]:
        ax.plot(x, model(x, p), label=p)
    ax.legend(title='Order')
    ax.set(xlabel='Voltage (mV)')
    ax.set(ylabel='Current ($\mu$A)')
    ax.autoscale(tight=True)

Figure size for IEEE not setting correctly

I have been using this library to make some plots for use in IEEE papers.

When using plt.style.use(['science','ieee']) and fig.savefig('Figures/tradeproportion_orders.pdf') I find that the output is larger than a single IEEE column width.

Do you know why this is/ how to fix it?

x-axis order problem

Hi,
thanks for your work.
My x-axis is [100, 90, ..., 20, 10],
but when I run the following code

x-axis=[ i for i in reversed(range(10,101,10))]
with plt.style.context(['science']):
    fig,ax=plt.subplots()
    ax.plot(x-axis,y-axis)

the x-axis your figure showed me is [10, 20, ..., 90, 100].
How can i solve this problem?
wait for your repeat :)

Resolution of density scatter plots

Is there an option to keep the original scatter resolution obtainable without setting the plt style to 'science'?

-Plot without science style disabled, high resolution in the scatter density plot

-Same plot with science style enabled, notice low resolution in scatter density plot, especialy visible in top left corner region.

Options Used for plotting:
plt.style.use(['science','ieee', 'scatter'])

science + grid not working

Hi,

Great package, I am using this for my master thesis. It's just fantastic to use. Just a small problem however -
plt.style.use(['science','grid']) seems not to work for me. Any suggestions on how to get it working?

Error because of comma between LaTeX package definitions

I get the following error if the comma is present in the marked line, if I remove the comma, it seems to work properly. The temporary files in the matplotlib cache directory also differ. Instead of $1.0$ the combination lp appears. Strange.

Installation behind proxy not working.

I am trying to install SciencePlots behind a proxy using pip.
pip install SciencePlots --proxy http://proxy-ip:port
While the package download is working correctly, I encountered the following Error during the installation procedure:

Running command pip subprocess to install build dependencies
Using pip 22.0.3 from C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-standalone-pip-_nduq2qr\__env_pip__.zip\pip (python 3.9)
WARNING: Retrying (Retry(total=4, connect=None, read=None, redirect=None, status=None)) after connection broken by 'ConnectTimeoutError(<pip._vendor.urllib3.connection.HTTPSConnection object at 0x000002902A131340>, 'Connection to pypi.org timed out. (connect timeout=15)')': /simple/setuptools/

To me it seems like the proxy is somehow not consequently used. Is there a way to fix this?

[compatibility]Install from pypi broken down in python 3.9

When I installed SciencePlots from pypi, pip would throw out this error:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named '_ctypes'.

And after installing SciencePlots, matplotlib would throw out this error:

OSError: 'ieee' not found in the style library and input is not a valid URL or path

Legends overlap with plot and looks ugly

code attached. Any way to improve?

Disabling (or adjusting) border ticks

Hey,

first of: thanks for the great styles!
I would however like to disable (or adjust if possible) the ticks the style draws on the borders of a plot. Specifically, when I'm building a subplot figure with a big figure around it to easily have a shared x, and y label, as well as legend, then the border ticks of the invisible frame stay visible.
The following code should showcase the problem:

import matplotlib
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np

plt.style.use("science")
fig, axes = plt.subplots(5,2, figsize=(8,6), sharex=True, sharey=True)
axes = axes.flatten()
big = fig.add_subplot(111, frameon=False)
plt.tick_params(labelcolor='none', top=False, bottom=False, left=False, right=False)

for ax in axes:
    ax.hist(
        np.random.normal(size=10000) + np.random.randint(0,10),
        density=True,
        bins=200,
    )

plt.show()

Note how the ticks are even plotted between two subplots in the whitespace. If you know how to selectively disable this, it would be appreciated.

Best regards,
Michael

How to solve this problem?

I can correctly run "plt.style.use('science')", but then, when I plot something, some error went out："RuntimeError: Failed to process string with tex because latex could not be found"
how can I fix it? thanks!

Why doesn't it work when the environment is configured?

You probably need to get an updated matplotlibrc file from
http://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/blob/master/matplotlibrc.template
or from the matplotlib source distribution

Documentation for SciencePlots

Hi, @garrettj403,

Discovering that the README file is getting longer and longer, I would like to create a documentation site for SciencePlots. Just use the sphinx for generating and GitHub Actions for deploying. How do you think?

Adding LaTeX packages for additional symbols to avoid process error

Hi.

This issue is already solved for me, but I wanted to share if somebody else comes across with it. I had a problem with symbols \circlearrowright & \circlearrowleft that I am using in a label. LaTeX was not able to process the string. Turns out that this symbols are under \usepackage{ amssymb }. So I needed to add this package to *.mplstyle under the folder "user.matplotlib\stylelib" as;

text.latex.preamble : \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{ amssymb }

Best,
Altug

RuntimeError: Failed to process string with tex because latex could not be found

I tried with this code snippet to draw a sample graph.

with plt.style.context('science'):     
    plt.figure()     
    plt.plot(x, y)     
    plt.show()

But I amm getting the following error. is it because of matplotlib latest version problem?
RuntimeError: Failed to process string with tex because latex could not be found.

A Couple Styles and pointer to complementary repo

Hi John,

I like your library! I have attached a couple style files for your to include in it.

Additionally, I have just published to Pypi, a complementary package for sizing publication figures and formatting panel labels (https://pypi.org/project/matplotlib-publishutil). It needs more layout config files for different publications, so as you develop style files, if you can provide my repo corresponding layout files, that'd be great!

Here is a Nature style (nature.mplstyle):

# Matplotlib style for Nature journal figures.
# In general, they advocate for all fonts to be panel labels to be sans serif
# and all font sizes in a figure to be 7 pt, and panel labels to be 8 pt. bold.

# Font sizes
axes.labelsize: 7
xtick.labelsize: 7
ytick.labelsize: 7
legend.fontsize: 7
font.size: 7

# Font Family
font.family: sans-serif
font.sans-serif: DejaVu Sans, Arial, Helvetica, Lucida Grande, Verdana, Geneva, Lucid, Avant Garde, sans-serif
mathtext.fontset : dejavusans

# Set line widths# 
axes.linewidth : 0.5
grid.linewidth : 0.5
lines.linewidth : 1.
lines.markersize: 3

# Always save as 'tight'
savefig.bbox : tight
savefig.pad_inches : 0.01  # Use virtually all space when we specify figure dimensions.

And here is a generic style file for when LaTeX is True and using a sans-serif font (latexsans.mplstyle).

mathtext.fontset : dejavusans

# Use LaTeX for math formatting
text.usetex : True
# In general, we need to be careful with the preamble. A common font for
# sans serif LaTeX is cmbright. However, it does not support bold fontweights
# so we use sfmath instead. 
text.latex.preamble : \usepackage{amsmath, amssymb, sfmath}

Axis ticks are shown abnormally when using 3d scatter plot

Hi, I met a problem when I use SciencePlot in 3d scatter plot. The axis ticks are shown abnormally. Below is an example that would reproduce the bug:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
from mpl_toolkits.mplot3d import Axes3D
# Fixing random state for reproducibility
np.random.seed(19680801)
def randrange(n, vmin, vmax):
    '''
    Helper function to make an array of random numbers having shape (n, )
    with each number distributed Uniform(vmin, vmax).
    '''
    return (vmax - vmin)*np.random.rand(n) + vmin

with plt.style.context(["science", 'ieee', 'no-latex']):
    fig = plt.figure()
    ax = fig.add_subplot(111, projection='3d')

    n = 100

    # For each set of style and range settings, plot n random points in the box
    # defined by x in [23, 32], y in [0, 100], z in [zlow, zhigh].
    for m, zlow, zhigh in [('o', -50, -25), ('^', -30, -5)]:
        xs = randrange(n, 23, 32)
        ys = randrange(n, 0, 100)
        zs = randrange(n, zlow, zhigh)
        ax.scatter(xs, ys, zs, marker=m)

    ax.set_xlabel('X Label')
    ax.set_ylabel('Y Label')
    ax.set_zlabel('Z Label')

    plt.show()

This would produce the following figure. As you can see, the lower-right corner is strange and only half of the x and y labels are shown.

Plotting will take a long time

When I use this style, I find it takes a very long time (more than 20 seconds in my i7 computer) to plot even a small figure. I think the possible reason is the latex postprocessing procedure. Do you have any idea to reduce the plotting time? Thank you in advance!

missing font metrics file: cmr10

I installed this package with pip on a centos system.
An error occured:
"FileNotFoundError: missing font metrics file: cmr10"
Then, I installed cmr10.ttf no my computer, but nothing changed.
How can I fix this error? Thanks!

Special characters are not showing in X or Y axis

In the code I defined:
plt.ylabel('Trusted Nodes (%)')
But in the plot, It's not showing the % sign, Instead showing Trusted Nodes ( . I think same issue happens with some other sign like #,$.
Uing the default Matplotlib theme, these signs are easily viewable in the X or Y axis depending on how you define in the code.

Use setup.py build system

Matplotlib warning about no LaTeX-compatible font.

Hi,

Whenever I use this package setting

plt.style.use(["science"])
plt.style.reload_library()

I get the following warning sign multiple times when I plot anything:

matplotlib.texmanager - INFO - No LaTeX-compatible font found for the serif font family in rcParams. Using default.

Now, I have investigated a little, this warning is issued here:

https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/blob/02af61b3000b93efad98f415b4a7eb330c9e46c1/lib/matplotlib/texmanager.py#L124

so it looks like it cannot found the specified font in the attribute TexManager.font_info. I have printed the font that is trying to look at, and it is "Times New Roman", as you would expect, but indeed that font is not found in the font_info dictionary:

https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/blob/02af61b3000b93efad98f415b4a7eb330c9e46c1/lib/matplotlib/texmanager.py#L62

What am I missing here? I am using:

It needs to be escaped as under\_score. FYI, it does not handle some special characters like $, #, %` --- it must be escaped.

Also, I don't see why the error message is about b'under_score'. Unicode handling is wrong too somewhere. FYI I am using python3.

LaTeX Error: File `amsmathamssymb.sty' not found.

Hi, I tried to run the code with both MikTex and TexLive. I got the same error. I am unable to trace the origin of the issue and fix it, but it looks like its coming because of a line somewhere like \usepackage{amsmathamssymb.sty} instead of \usepackage{amssymb, amsmath}. How can I fix this please?

I am using SciencePlots 1.08, matplotlib 3.0.3andpython 3.6` on Windows 10.

Cannot find latex

When I run the demo, there has been an error called: RuntimeError: Failed to process string with tex because latex could not be found

Grid below graph

Currently the grid is plotted on top of the graph:

It looks cleaner if the grid is below the graph:

This can be done by adding axes.axisbelow : True to the grid.mplstyle

Change default param

Hi, @garrettj403 !

I have some question: can i use my custom plotting params instead of plotting params in science.mplstyle?
i.e.

plt.style.use(['science'])

plt.subplots_adjust(
    left=0.04,
    bottom=0.08,
    right=0.98,
    top=0.9,
    wspace=0.16,
    hspace=0.27
)

or not?

Default image size in science.mplstyle very small:)

Sincerely yours, Kirill

About use this tool in win10 with RuntimeError

First, thanks for @garrettj403 perfect work, it is very useful.

---

If not install LaTeX in win10, run examples in this repo will get an error:
"RuntimeError: Failed to process string with tex because latex could not be found"

---

Just need to install LaTeX and add 'path\texstudio.exe' to systerm enviroment PATH
(Note1: Need to install MiKTex and LaTeX, The following installation package will provide guidelines.)
(Note2: Selecting for all users when installing MiKTex will automatically add MiKTex to the system environment variables PATH)

---

the tex download: http://www.tug.org/

---

I tested this tool in Jupyter notebook and it works very well.
I hope this suggestion can help friends who encounter this problem.

How to use it in anaconda

I install this library through "pip intsall SciencePlots" use conda base environment, but i check the matplotlib style file, it does not include the SciencePlots syle file.
