Rust plotting library using Python (Matplotlib)

This library generates plots by calling python3 after generating a python script. The name of the python script is based on the name of the figure (png, svg, …). If an error occurs, a log file is created (also named as the figure).

The main idea here is to create objects such as Curve, Contour, Histogram, or Surface and add it to a plot using the add command. The plot may also configured using the methods of Plot.

Each object (e.g. Curve, Legend, Text) defines a number of configuration options that can be directly set on the object. Then, the draw method of each object must be called before adding to Plot.

Example

use russell_lab::generate3d;
let mut surface = Surface::new();
surface
    .set_with_wireframe(true)
    .set_colormap_name("Pastel1")
    .set_with_colorbar(true)
    .set_colorbar_label("temperature")
    .set_line_color("#1862ab")
    .set_line_style(":")
    .set_line_width(0.75);

// draw surface
let n = 9;
let (x, y, z) = generate3d(-2.0, 2.0, -2.0, 2.0, n, n, |x, y| x * x + y * y);
surface.draw(&x, &y, &z);

// add surface to plot
let mut plot = Plot::new();
plot.add(&surface);

// save figure
plot.save(Path::new("/tmp/plotpy/example_main.svg"))?;
