pltflow

What is pltflow?

• pltflow is a wrapper for matplotlib/seaborn to create beautiful charts
• It makes use of predifined styles to completely automate the chart creation process
• It also uses the concept of pipelines to create charts as following a recipe

pltflow is not intended for quick and beautiful plots. You dont need to know anything about styling to make a pretty chart. But of course you can modify any parameter using matplotlib/seaborn arguments.

✅  Installation

pltflow can be installed using pip.

pip install pltflow

📌  Requirements

• python 3.6 or above
• matplotlib 2.2 or above
• seaborn 0.9.0 or above
• pandas 1.0.0 or above

🔨 Usage 

*pltflow works with pandas dataframes as data source

• It uses pipelines to convey the 'recipe' of the chart

import pltflow.charts as flow

(
   flow                                                            # from the pltflow package
   .plot(df, primary="YrSold",secondary ="ppsqm", style = "vox")   # plot the df, define variables and style
   .set_ylabel("PRICE PER M2")                                     # set the y label text
   .set_xlabel("YEAR SOLD")                                        # set the x label text
   .set_title("BOSTON PRICE PER SQUARE METER")                     # set the title text
   .set_subtitle("YEARS 2006 TO 2010 | FUNDA.COM")                 # set the subtitle text
   .color_by("Neighborhood")                       # color the chart by the neighborhood (different categories)
   .focus_on("CollgCr")                            # focus on a specific category (other will be grayed out)
   .set_figsize(8,4)                               # set the figure size
   .set_yticks(np.arange(1000, 1800, 200))         # set the spacing of the y axis labels
   .set_xticks(np.arange(2006, 2011))              # set the spacing of the x axis labels
   .show()       
                                     # SHOW!!! the graph is ready!

Currently there are 4 predifined styles: base, vox, mkbhd, and innocent

But more are coming soon!
