Pykz, Tikz generation from Python#
Generate beautiful, publication-ready figures with the power of Tikz and pgfplots, with a comfortable, familiar Python syntax.
pykz aims to provide a syntax similar to matplotlib,
but with the possibility of directly outputting (and controlling!)
your tikz code.
The benefit over alternatives like
tikzplotlib is pykz
was designed explicitly with pgfplots in mind, whereas the goal of tikzplotlib
is to map matplotlib concepts to pgfplots. This is arguably more convenient
if you already have code for matplotlib, but it often still requires manual
tweaking to the resulting tex-files. pykz aims to provide more
control over the final output directly in Python, so no manual
tweaking is required afterwards.
Installation#
To install pykz, run:
$ pip install pykz
Quick Start#
pykz provides a simple high-level interface for common plotting operations.
