> **Warning**
> : As of version 2.0.0, you need to add `import scienceplots` before setting the style (`plt.style.use('science')`).

*Matplotlib styles for scientific figures*

This repo has Matplotlib styles to format your figures for scientific papers, presentations and theses.

<p align="center">
<img src="https://github.com/garrettj403/SciencePlots/raw/master/examples/figures/fig01a.jpg" width="500">
</p>

You can find [the full gallery of included styles here](https://github.com/garrettj403/SciencePlots/wiki/Gallery).

Getting Started
---------------

The easiest way to install SciencePlots is by using `pip`:

```bash
# to install the latest release (from PyPI)
pip install SciencePlots

# to install the latest release (using Conda)
conda install -c conda-forge scienceplots

# to install the latest commit (from GitHub)
pip install git+https://github.com/garrettj403/SciencePlots

# to clone and install from a local copy
git clone https://github.com/garrettj403/SciencePlots.git
cd SciencePlots
pip install -e .
```

From version `v1.1.0` on, `import scienceplots` is needed on top of your scripts so Matplotlib can make use of the styles.

**Notes:** 
- SciencePlots requires Latex ([see Latex installation instructions](https://github.com/garrettj403/SciencePlots/wiki/FAQ#installing-latex)). 
- If you would like to use CJK fonts, you will need to install these font separately ([see CJK font installation instructions](https://github.com/garrettj403/SciencePlots/wiki/FAQ#installing-cjk-fonts)).

Please see the [FAQ](https://github.com/garrettj403/SciencePlots/wiki/FAQ) for more information and troubleshooting.

Using the Styles
----------------

``"science"`` is the primary style in this repo. Whenever you want to use it, simply add the following to the top of your python script:

```python
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import scienceplots

plt.style.use('science')
```

You can also combine multiple styles together by:

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

In this case, the ``ieee`` style will override some of the parameters from the ``science`` style in order to configure the plot for IEEE papers (column width, fontsizes, etc.).

To use any of the styles temporarily, you can use:

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

Examples
--------

The basic ``science`` style is shown below:

<img src="https://github.com/garrettj403/SciencePlots/raw/master/examples/figures/fig01a.jpg" width="500">

It can be cascaded with other styles to fine-tune the appearance. For example, the ``science`` + ``notebook`` styles (intended for Jupyter notebooks):

<img src="https://github.com/garrettj403/SciencePlots/raw/master/examples/figures/fig10.jpg" width="500">

Please see [the project Wiki](https://github.com/garrettj403/SciencePlots/wiki/Gallery) for a full list of available styles.

Specific Styles for Academic Journals
-------------------------------------

The ``science`` + ``ieee`` styles for IEEE papers:

<img src="https://github.com/garrettj403/SciencePlots/raw/master/examples/figures/fig02a.jpg" width="500">

   - IEEE requires figures to be readable when printed in black and white. The ``ieee`` style also sets the figure width to fit within one column of an IEEE paper.

The ``science`` + ``nature`` styles for Nature articles:

<img src="https://github.com/garrettj403/SciencePlots/raw/master/examples/figures/fig02c.jpg" width="500">

   - Nature recommends sans-serif fonts.

Other languages
---------------

SciencePlots currently supports:
 * [Traditional Chinese](https://github.com/garrettj403/SciencePlots/wiki/Gallery#traditional-chinese)
 * [Simplified Chinese](https://github.com/garrettj403/SciencePlots/wiki/Gallery#simplified-chinese)
 * [Japanese](https://github.com/garrettj403/SciencePlots/wiki/Gallery#japanese)
 * [Korean](https://github.com/garrettj403/SciencePlots/wiki/Gallery#korean)
 * [Russian](https://github.com/garrettj403/SciencePlots/wiki/Gallery#russian)
 * [Turkish](https://github.com/garrettj403/SciencePlots/wiki/Gallery#turkish)

Example: Traditional Chinese (`science` + `no-latex` + `cjk-tc-font`):

<img src="https://github.com/garrettj403/SciencePlots/raw/master/examples/figures/fig14a.jpg" width="500">

See the [FAQ](https://github.com/garrettj403/SciencePlots/wiki/FAQ#installing-cjk-fonts) for information on installing CJK fonts.

Other color cycles
------------------

SciencePlots comes with a variety of different color cycles. For a full list, [see the project Wiki](https://github.com/garrettj403/SciencePlots/wiki/Gallery#color-cycles). Two examples are shown below.

The ``bright`` color cycle (color blind safe):

<img src="https://github.com/garrettj403/SciencePlots/raw/master/examples/figures/fig06.jpg" width="500">

The ``high-vis`` color cycle:

<img src="https://github.com/garrettj403/SciencePlots/raw/master/examples/figures/fig04.jpg" width="500">

Paul Tol's discrete rainbow color sets are available as well, with the style identifier ``discrete-rainbow-<n>``, where ``<n>`` is the number of unique colors. ``<n>`` ranges from ``1`` to ``23`` (inclusive). For example, ``discrete-rainbow-15``:

<img src="https://github.com/garrettj403/SciencePlots/raw/master/examples/figures/fig_dr_15.jpg" width="500">

Help and Contributing
---------------------

Please feel free to contribute to the SciencePlots repo! For example, it would be good to add new styles for different journals and add new color cycles. Before starting a new style or making any changes, please create an issue through the [GitHub issue tracker](https://github.com/garrettj403/SciencePlots/issues). That way we can discuss if the changes are necessary and the best approach.

If you need any help with SciencePlots, please first check the [FAQ](https://github.com/garrettj403/SciencePlots/wiki/FAQ) and search through the [previous GitHub issues](https://github.com/garrettj403/SciencePlots/issues). If you can't find an answer, create a new issue through the [GitHub issue tracker](https://github.com/garrettj403/SciencePlots/issues).

You can checkout [Matplotlib's documentation](https://matplotlib.org/tutorials/introductory/customizing.html) for more information on plotting settings.

Citing SciencePlots
-------------------

You don't have to cite SciencePlots if you use it but it's nice if you do:

    @article{SciencePlots,
      author       = {John D. Garrett},
      title        = {{garrettj403/SciencePlots}},
