Open gVallverdu opened 8 years ago

gVallverdu commented 8 years ago

Hello I wonder if one of the style in matplotlib.syle does the same ? You advice to use seaborn instead of matplotlib and several style seems to be extracted from seaborn

['bmh',
 'fivethirtyeight',
 'seaborn-darkgrid',
 'seaborn-talk',
 'seaborn-colorblind',
 'seaborn-dark-palette',
 'seaborn-notebook',
 'seaborn-paper',
 'seaborn-muted',
 'seaborn-poster',
 'seaborn-white',
 'dark_background',
 'seaborn-whitegrid',
 'seaborn-deep',
 'ggplot',
 'seaborn-bright',
 'grayscale',
 'classic',
 'seaborn-ticks',
 'seaborn-pastel',
 'seaborn-dark']

Thank you for your code and help

@gVallverdu you are probably referring to the lines in the Readme.md

Thank you to everyone who has used prettyplotlib and made it what it is today! Unfortunately, I no longer have the bandwidth to maintain prettyplotlib. I recommend using seaborn. Using seaborn, to get the prettyplotlib style, do...

I really loved prettyplotlib and I am really thankful that @olgabot devoted so much time to this project! Really! I think it was one of the incentives that resulted in seaborn and these 'styles' in recent matplotlib versions.

I think you are right when you say

considering the latest README.md update. These styles have been added to matplotlib just a couple of months ago, and that's a great addition to the lib. Would be great it you could add a little sentence about that as a pull request to the Readme
