skunk
Insert SVGs into matplotlib
pip install skunk
Jupyter Notebooks
To show generated SVGs in Jupyter Notebooks: Currently, axes are cutoff when viewed in jupyter - I think due to restrictive viewport. Save to file to get publication ready version
skunk.display(svg)
Overwrite Subplot
import skunk
import numpy as np
import os
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
fig, axs = plt.subplots(ncols=2)
x = np.linspace(0, 2 * np.pi)
axs[0].plot(x, np.sin(x))
# important line where we set ID
skunk.connect(axs[1], 'sk')
plt.tight_layout()
# Overwrite using file path to my svg
# Can also use string
svg = skunk.insert(
{
'sk': 'skunk.svg'
})
with open('replaced.svg', 'w') as f:
f.write(svg)
Output
SVG in Annotation
