pyplots

Compatibility with matplotlib's pyplots directive for sphinx

To install, run nikola plugin -i pyplots

A quick & dirty reimplementation of the plot directive useful for doing nice plots, and for sphinx compatibility.

IMPORTANT: this directive executes arbitrary python code passed as the argument, so it's wildly insecure. Do not enable this plugin if you are ever building a site with untrusted content.

Differences with the original:

  • Context is always reset between plots, the context option will produce an error.
  • No configuration options whatsoever.
  • It always uses SVG because it's 2015
  • the include-source option is supported but completely ignored

NOTE: if you use code inside the directive instead of files, every time you edit it it will produce different random-named images in output/pyplots. That's probably worth cleaning every once in a while.

Requirements:

  • matplotlib<2.0.0 ; python_version <= '3.3' (Python package)
  • matplotlib ; python_version != '3.3' (Python package)
