This skill guides scientific plotting with matplotlib, seaborn, and plotly. It covers multi-panel figures, error bars, significance markers, colorblind-safe palettes, grayscale checks, and styling for manuscript figures. The examples also show how to include units and keep panel formatting consistent.
The package includes style_presets.py, figure_export.py, journal style files in assets/, and reference material for publication requirements. It can apply settings for Nature, Science, and Cell, check figure dimensions, and save outputs in formats such as PDF, EPS, TIFF, SVG, and PNG. JPEG is discouraged for scientific data, while vector output is preferred for line art.
What it helps with
- assemble a multi-panel figure for a manuscript
- add error bars and significance markers
- apply a colorblind-safe palette
- check a figure against journal dimensions
- export a plot as PDF or EPS
