Fixes to Figures for Updated Manuscript

[CompRhys]

playing with figures, I think 5x3 works well but need to delete the empty plots in the parity plots per the histogram plots if possible. Putting the caption below the big V-shape plot lets us use all traces, I think the plot is only useful if we see the large differences.

TODO:

• [x] can we clean up the empty plots on 5x3 layout? just drop last (partially-filled) row as the Voronoi RF plot isn't that interesting
• [x] can batch v-plots be made into a single 5x3 plot?
• [x] rotate IQR label on box plot to be vertical as they overlap removed the IQR labels made boxes wider
• [x] change lims on e_form to be (-5, 5)
• [x] rotate optimal recall line label can't be fixed on dynamics figures -> hard code size earlier.
• [x] set the table height for the different metrics tables to ensure consistent sizing on the page can be done in latex
• [x] check the form and each scatter plots don't have cut-off labels in pdf
• [x] expand energy scatter limits to ensure shared axis

can we clean up the empty plots on 5x3 layout?

69b0a8e makes a 4x3 each-parity-models showing only compliant models but dropping Voronoi RF

attempt to rotate optimal recall either so it sits on the line or is horizontal

[CompRhys]

rotate optimal recall line label -- the issue here is that the figure is dynamically sized, but the angle doesn't adjust dynamically. attempted to fix width but doesn't seem to work. Maybe something in pmv adjusts?

i think this works.

# Calculate text angle based on data range
dev_fig = fig.full_figure_for_development(warn=False)
x_max = dev_fig.layout.xaxis.range[1]
y_max = dev_fig.layout.yaxis.range[1]
dx = n_stable / x_max
dy = 1 / y_max
textangle = -math.degrees(math.atan2(dy, dx))

would go here

might make sense to start grouping scripts into

• scripts/discovery
• scripts/phonons
• scripts/geo_opt

could also leave that for a future PR

This isn't a full fix, to get this to work you have to set the figure size early which may impact some of the svelte plots. Plotly issue here: https://github.com/plotly/plotly.py/issues/4858
