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
