Directly using Tikz

Directly use Tikz functionality, without pgfplots.

import pykz
pykz.figure()

rect = pykz.rectangle((-1, -1), (1, 1))
circle = pykz.circle((2, 0), (1), fill="red")
rect2 = pykz.rectangle((1, 1), (2, 3), fill="cyan")

# Dump the generated tikz code to the stdout.
print(pykz.dumps())

# Export your tex code as a standalone file
pykz.save("circles_and_squares.tex", standalone=True)
# You could also directly build the pdf
pykz.io.export_pdf_from_file("circles_and_squares.tex")

\documentclass[tikz, margin=5]{standalone}


\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\draw(-1.000000000, -1.000000000) rectangle (1.000000000, 1.000000000);
\draw[fill=red](2.000000000, 0.000000000) circle (1);
\draw[fill=cyan](1.000000000, 1.000000000) rectangle (2.000000000, 3.000000000);

\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

'circles_and_squares.pdf'

Alternatively, output it to png

pykz.io.export_png_from_file("circles_and_squares.tex")

Or, save the Tikz code to a temporary file, compile it, and open the pdf in the default viewer. This would be the equivalent to plt.show()

pykz.preview()
