pubplot makes easy to create publication quality plots that fit elegantly in your LaTeX document.
Start creating a document matching your LaTeX documentclass:
>>> from pubplot import Document >>> from pubplot.document_classes import acm_sigconf >>> doc = Document(acm_sigconf)
Now you can use your newly created doc
to make plots that fit well in an ACM conference paper.
>>> fig, ax = doc.figure() >>> ax.plot(range(11), range(11)) >>> fig.save('plot_name')
This will create two files plot_name.pdf
and plot_name.pgf
.
If you are familiar with matplotlib you will have no problem using pubplot.
usepackage{pgf}
Make sure you have an updated LaTeX installation:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install texlive-base texlive-latex-recommended texlive-fonts-recommended texlive-publishers texlive-latex-extra
Now install pubplot
using pip
:
pip install pubplot
You need a basic LaTeX installation. An easy way of getting LaTeX on a mac is through homebrew cask (although any other form of getting mactex should be fine):
brew cask install mactex
Now install pubplot
using pip
:
pip install pubplot
Optional but recommended. Matplotlib works better if you install some dependencies, if you use homebrew that can be accomplished with:
brew install libpng freetype pkg-config fontconfig
