Some things that may be worth doing:

  • Add more length scales to the UNITS dictionary:
    • Paper sizes: letter_width, letter_height, A0, A1, A2, ...
    • Text area width/height in MS Word with standard margin settings.
  • The implementation of split_num_unit is a bit dodgy and could be improved.
  • Make some things more configurable:
    • E.g. choose the savefig backend?
    • Should be done in a way that doesn't add much complexity to makefig, or to projects using makefig.
      • Maybe a good option is to pass it as optional kwargs to parse_args_make_figs, so that all the configuration is basically done in the __main__ block.
  • Consider adding some code to allow saving the current matplotlib.rcParams to a file, to allow for (more) reproducible figure production.
    • Presumably it would be best to use a file format that is either:
      • suitable for use with matplotlib.rc_file(), i.e. an equivalent format to matplotlibrc
      • easy to load into a python dict. This may be useful in case the user wants to load the file, delete some items (so that the values from matplotlibrc are used), and use the modified dict.
    • It would (probably) be nice if the rcParams are saved the same way figures are saved in the usual CLI, i.e. using parse_args_make_figs(). Presumably this would involve one of:
      • Adding an item to the FIGURES_REGISTRY, then checking the type of the items in FIGURES_REGISTRY to decide how to save each object.
      • Adding special rcParams saving code to parse_args_make_figs, or one of the functions it calls, in order to specifically save the rcParams.
