Figure sizes, font sizes, fonts, and more configurations at minimal overhead. Fix your journal papers, conference proceedings, and other scientific publications.
Tueplots centres around the content of figsizes.py, fonts.py, fontsizes.py, and bundles.py.
Other modules, namely axes.py, cycler.py, and markers.py, provide easy access to some plot-style changes that are otherwise a bit more involved to update. For example, axes.lines() changes all linewidths to a consistent base_width via rcParams. This functionality is helpful but somewhat opinionated.
Why
I would like to collect modules with such (potentially) opinionated content in a dedicated subpackage, e.g., tueplots.style.*, to distinguish them from the core content: figure sizes, font sizes, and so on.
This would simplify the API a little bit:
Make it easier to find the "important" content in the online docs
Add a new template by adding a function to all of the (then) top-level modules
Guarantee that the top-level content does not contain any opinionated configurations
We could split the tutorial notebooks into tutorials for the central content and tutorials for using the style (name undecided) subpackage
How
The current API looks like
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from tueplots import bundles, axes
plt.rcParams.update(bundles.icml2022())
plt.rcParams.update(axes.lines(base_width=0.75))
The new API would look like
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from tueplots import bundles
from tueplots.style import axes
plt.rcParams.update(bundles.icml2022())
plt.rcParams.update(axes.lines(base_width=0.75))
To be decided
[ ] Is this change useful? (I think yes, but I would love to hear what people think)
[ ] What should the name of the subpackage be? (Currently, I think style is decent but there might be a more suitable one, maybe something like tueplots.opinion)
[ ] Do we use a deprecation policy or just go ahead with it?
[ ] Do we bump the patch version afterwards, or do we go to v0.1.0 (which should happen soon anyway in my opinion)
