"Cyberpunk style" for matplotlib plots

mplcyberpunk

A Python package on top of matplotlib to create 'cyberpunk' style plots with 3 additional lines of code.

Installation

pip install mplcyberpunk

Usage

After importing the package, the cyberpunk stylesheet (dark background etc.) is available via plt.style.use. The line glow and 'underglow' effects are added via calling add_glow_effects:

    import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
    import mplcyberpunk

    plt.style.use("cyberpunk")

    plt.plot([1, 3, 9, 5, 2, 1, 1], marker='o')
    plt.plot([4, 5, 5, 7, 9, 8, 6], marker='o')

    mplcyberpunk.add_glow_effects()

    plt.show()

Result:

This effect is currently only implemented for lines.

The individual steps are described here in more detail.

Add effects individually

Instead of add_glow_effects, you can add the line glow and underglow effects separately:

mplcyberpunk.make_lines_glow()
mplcyberpunk.add_underglow()

You can also add the effect to a specific axis object explicitly:

fig, ax = plt.subplots()
...
mplcyberpunk.make_lines_glow(ax)

Colormap

The default colormap is cool:

Requirements

Depends only on matplotlib.
