enhancement: tufte plot styling

[jeremymanning]

we could use tufte-style slope plots (SPC, PFR, PNR, Lag-CRP) and bar plots (fingerprints) to beautify out plot styles

seaborn has a ticks style that is pretty clean:

we could start with that and add a layer of our own defaults (if we want thinner lines, bars, etc). I also like the blue background:

@jeremymanning any preferences on the plot styles? Personally I like the way they are now

[jeremymanning]

yeah, i like them too-- let's stick with this style

[andrewheusser]

👍 cool

[jeremymanning]

actually-- now that you've closed this, one more comment: we should make sure the plots are consistent with each other (e.g. default colormaps, axis grids, font sizes, etc.). i think we're good but we should pay attention to this.

[jeremymanning]

(feel free to close if we're already being consistent-- but i noticed that the example bar plots don't have axis grids, whereas the lag-CRPs and SPCs do)

[andrewheusser]

I think all styles are consistent across the plots. Which example bar plot are you referring to?

[jeremymanning]

the one in this thread (see above)...maybe that was an old example?

[jeremymanning]

nvm-- i think we're good. closing.

[andrewheusser]

ah, that was a alternative style option 🎉 👍
