ProPlot is a Python library that wraps matplotlib to provide a more succinct API for creating publication-quality figures. Development has been indefinitely halted since summer 2023 in favor of its spiritual successor, Ultraplot.
Use cases
- make publication-quality matplotlib figures with less code
- create beautiful scientific plots in python
- simplify matplotlib figure and subplot layout
- make multi-panel figures with shared axes
- style matplotlib plots for academic papers
- plot data with nicer default colormaps and aesthetics
When to choose
- you need to maintain or extend existing code that already uses proplot
- you are pinned to older matplotlib/python versions that ultraplot does not support
When to avoid
- you are starting a new project - use ultraplot, the actively maintained successor
- you need support for recent matplotlib, cartopy, or python versions
- you expect bug fixes or new features from the maintainers
