figure_manager

figure_manager can snap matplotlib-figures to various positions on the screen.
For example, more one figure to upper-left corner of the screen or make a figure full-screen.

Example

The figure manager is used as follows:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
from figure_manager import get_figure_manager

# Get figure-manager
figm = get_figure_manager()  # Here the figure manager measures the screen

# Make a figure
plt.figure()
xs = np.linspace(0, 6, 200)
ys = np.sin(xs)
plt.plot(xs, ys)
plt.show()

# Split screen into a 2-by-2 grid and move figure to upper-left corner
figm.split_2x2.ul()

When the figure-manager is initialized it creates a test-figure, which is then maximized, used to measure the size of the screen and closed (takes a fraction of a second).

Installation

Install by pip install figure-manager

More Usage

Full-screen figure:

figm.full()

Left or right side of screen:

figm.l()
figm.r()

2-by-2 split of screen. Upper-left, upper-right, bottom-left and bottom-right:

figm.split_2x2.ul()
figm.split_2x2.ur()
figm.split_2x2.bl()
figm.split_2x2.br()

3-by-2 split of screen. Upper-left, middle-left, bottom-left, upper-right, middle-right and bottom-right:

figm.split_3x2.ul()
figm.split_3x2.ml()
figm.split_3x2.bl()
figm.split_3x2.ur()
figm.split_3x2.mr()
figm.split_3x2.br()

3-by-1 split of screen. Upper, middle and bottom:

figm.split_3x1.u()
figm.split_3x1.m()
figm.split_3x1.b()

Custom grid and position

figm.position(n_rows=8, n_cols=3, row_nr=1, col_nr=2)

Test Script

The example.py further exemplifies the use.
