Resolution of density scatter plots #42

Closed ayylemao closed 3 years ago

ayylemao commented 3 years ago

Is there an option to keep the original scatter resolution obtainable without setting the plt style to 'science'?

Plot without science style disabled, high resolution in the scatter density plot -Plot without science style disabled, high resolution in the scatter density plot Same plot with science style enabled, notice low resolution in scatter density plot, especialy visible in top left corner region. -Same plot with science style enabled, notice low resolution in scatter density plot, especialy visible in top left corner region.

Options Used for plotting: plt.style.use(['science','ieee', 'scatter'])

Hi @ayylemao

Nothing that I know of in the science style should cause this... if you like, you can add the different parameters to the top of your Python script and try commenting/uncommenting to find the culprit:

import matplotlib as mpl
from cycler import cycler

mpl.rcParams['axes.prop_cycle'] = cycler(color=['0C5DA5', '00B945', 'FF9500', 'FF2C00', '845B97', '474747', '9e9e9e'])

mpl.rcParams['figure.figsize'] = (3.5, 2.625)

# etc

Also try saving with different figure sizes and different files types (png vs jpg vs pdf). You can also try disabling Latex using the no-latex style to see if that changes anything.
