Use a nice KIT-ish theme for matplotlib plots.
Place kitish.mplstyle and kitishnotex.mplstyle in ~/.config/matplotlib/stylelib/
In Python, do
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.style.use("kitish") #or "kitishnotex" to avoid text rendering with TeX.
fig,ax = plt.subplots()
ax.plot([0,1,2],[1,2,1],label="cars")
ax.plot([0,1,2],[2,1,2],label="bikes")
ax.plot([0,1,2],[2,2,0],label="birds")
ax.plot([0,1,2],[0,1,1],label="cats")
plt.legend()
ax.set_title(r"Something $\alpha+\beta=\gamma$.")
ax.set_ylabel("Another label")
ax.set_xlabel(r"Source Sans Pro is a nice font.")
plt.savefig("example.png")to get the following output:
For comparison, here's the original plot when omitting plt.style.use("kitish").
