#Issues

• There is a naming error in this project. why named as hilab_plot as a python package?, though as a file folder, it can be named as hilab_plot, but as a project, it should be named as an official name, like sciplots

when saved plots, fig and axes should be created in a the same plotting function routine ?[Weird].

Attraction

Simple code like this

with plt.style.context(["ieee", "latex", "ticks-inward"]):
    fig, axs = initialize_figure()
    alpha_deg, cx, cz = AeroDataLoaderInstance.get_data()
    axs[0].plot(alpha_deg, cx)
    axs[1].plot(alpha_deg, cz)
    axs[1].set_xlabel(r"$\alpha~[\mathrm{deg}]$")
    axs[0].set_ylabel(r"$\prescript{\mathcal{B}}{}{\boldsymbol{c}_x}~[\mathrm{kg/m}]$")
    axs[1].set_ylabel(r"$\prescript{\mathcal{B}}{}{\boldsymbol{c}_z}~[\mathrm{kg/m}]$")
    # finetuning
    for ax in axs:
        hilab_plot.set_minor_ticks_style(ax)

    # set ticks points for first plot (cx)
    axs[0].set_yticks([-0.04, -0.02, 0, 0.02, 0.04])
    # Set minor ticks for y-axis (4 between each major tick)
    major_spacing = 0.02  # Distance between major ticks
    minor_spacing = major_spacing/5  # 4 minor ticks between majors
    axs[0].yaxis.set_minor_locator(MultipleLocator(minor_spacing))


    # seting x ticks lable false
    axs[0].set_xticklabels([])

            # set ticks points for second plot (cz)
    axs[1].set_yticks([-0.3, -0.15, 0, 0.15, 0.3])
    # Set minor ticks for y-axis (4 between each major tick)
    major_spacing = 0.15  # Distance between major ticks
    minor_spacing = major_spacing/5  # 4 minor ticks between majors
    axs[1].yaxis.set_minor_locator(MultipleLocator(minor_spacing))

    fig.savefig(os.path.join(figures_dir, "figure-aero-lyu.pdf"), backend="pgf")

Details

ORIGINAL PACKAGE

This package is originally from scienceplots.

Examples

python examples/plot-examples.py

it will generate the figures in the examples/figures directory.

Build in Editable Mode

pip install --user -e .

Trouble shooting

you may have a problem with setuptools, try to upgrade it

pip install --upgrade pip setuptools setuptools_scm

Goal

modify the original package to better support the IEEE style and my own aesthetic.

pip install -e .

Dependencies

sudo apt-get install ttf-mscorefonts-installer

Optional

中文支持

Uh! 这里需要安装 texlive-full 去获得中文支持 This coulbe be uncessary but it is safe to install it if you have enough disk space.

sudo apt install texlive-full

Trouble shooting

if you suffer that Pregenerating ConTeXt MarkIV format. This may take some time... takes forever please check the following: (Just entering all the time until it get unstuck)[https://askubuntu.com/questions/956006/pregenerating-context-markiv-format-this-may-take-some-time-takes-forever]

texlive-xetex

sudo apt install texlive-xetex

pip install pdf2image Pillow

Cautions

Fonts

（SimSun）宋体似乎是微软 office 的默认字体（专用），普通的下载方式似乎没法正常安装，或者需要去盗版网站下载， 这里采用Source Han Serif 思源宋体作为替代。其实与微软宋体相比, 有一些不同。

思源宋体

curl -L https://github.com/adobe-fonts/source-han-serif/releases/download/2.003R/14_SourceHanSerifCN.zip -o source-han-serif.zip

unzip source-han-serif.zip
mkdir -p ~/.fonts
cp SubsetOTF/CN/* ~/.fonts/
fc-cache -fv

Verify the installation:

fc-list | grep "Source Han Serif"

Update 本项目增加了一个 simsum.tcc， 可以直接使用微软宋体(only 学术交流). 默认的 latex-sc.mplstyle 使用的是微软宋体(SimSun).

cp simsum.tcc ~/.fonts/
fc-cache -fv

Verify the installation:

fc-list | grep "SimSun"

The interaction between matplotlib and latex

These other special characters are also escaped in non-math TeX, while in Matplotlib their behavior is dependent on how rcParams["text.usetex"] (default: False) is set:

# $ % & ~ _ ^ \ { } \( \) \[ \]

Math font

似乎 latex 是根据 text font family 自动选择了 math font family.

Observations

• mathbf 与 textbf 一致 （Roman characters; not greek letters）mathrm 与 textrm 一致
• 普通的 italic math 字符又与 textit 不一样
• boldsymbol 加粗的字体依据 italic math，而与 mathbf、mathrm 不一样
• 思源宋体似乎比较适配所有需求
