Announcement: mpltools 0.1
==========================

mpltools is a package of tools for matplotlib. For the most part, these
tools are only loosely-connected in functionality, but there are two that
may prove particularly useful:

Styles and plot2rst
-------------------

The `style` package provides a simple way to define and reuse
matplotlibrc-like config files. For example, there's an included style that
mimics R's plotting package, ggplot. You can use this style by calling::

   from mpltools import style
   style.use('ggplot')

(Thanks to Huy Nguyen for these settings.)

The second tool of note is `plot2rst`, which provides a simple way to
generate (Sphinx-flavored) reStructuredText examples from normal python
files. See the Getting Started page and `plot2rst` example for details:

Other tools
-----------

This package provides other tools for tweaking colors, layouts, etc. The
easiest way to get started is to look at the example gallery:
