What problem does it solve?

Matplotlib visuals often suffer from inconsistent styling, unclear labels, and non-reproducible figures. This guide captures best practices to produce clear, accurate, and publication-ready plots across projects.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Guidelines for choosing color palettes that are accessible to color-blind viewers.
  • Recommendations for the OO API vs pyplot for production-quality figures.
  • Layout, labeling, and export practices to ensure figures are ready for publication and reports.

Quick Start

Start by refactoring your plotting code to use the OO API, apply a colorblind-friendly palette, and label axes with units to produce publication-ready figures.
