Installation

Use the package manager pip to install SacredFig.

pip install sacredfig

Usage

Simply import the package and use the sacredfig style:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import sacredfig

plt.style.use(sacredfig.style)

fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(4, 4), dpi=150)
ax.grid(False, which='major', axis='x')

ax.plot([0, 1], [0, 1])
ax.set_box_aspect(1)
ax.set(xlabel="x", ylabel="y")

    ax.plot(np.sin(np.linspace(0, 2 * np.pi)), 'r-o')
