This package is indeeed pretty nice, and I will surely take a look into
it, but the way styles are added does not seem quite practical or shareable.
In my opinion, having a style file for each paper makes things more
flexible, although this package may get more control out of the box.
Also, not being built-in makes you install an other package, and I think
some people either do not want to do it, nor know how to do it.
On an other topic, I started working on some of the features you wanted
to integrate with your PR
<https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/pull/2702>. I guessed that
when you talked about adding the |set_ticks_location| to the rcParams,
you wanted to control whether the ticks are in or out of the axes box?
Finally, I added a |style| parameter to the rcParams. It lets you choose
from your |matplotlibrc| which style you want to use. On top of that, I
made it recursive, so that you can design a style directly from other
styles.
The only thing I could not get to work was to have your style loading
directly when importing matplotlib (when defining from your rc file).
You actually have to import the |matplotlib.style| lib to get your rc
defined style to load up.
I will continue working on the other features described in olga’s PR
<https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/pull/2702> before submitting
one on my own. But if you want to take a look, and tell me how I can
improve what I did, you can find it on my repo
<https://github.com/Mrngilles/matplotlib>.
Thanks

There's also the "plotsettings" package which makes it easy to switch
between styles required by different papers.

Apperantly he scales each parameter to get modified views.
This would be a good addition for any of the styles available
in matplotlib.
A similar pattern with `matplotlib.style` would use chained
stylesheets. The idea would be to make stylesheets either
aesthetics focused or layout focused. By aesthetics, I mean
things like colors and marker shape, and by layout, I mean things
like default figure size, figure padding, font size, etc. Then
you can easily have a style that defines the general aesthetics
and easily modify it for papers, talks, etc.
Here's an example from `mpltools`, but the same syntax applies to
the `style` module in `matplotlib`:
http://tonysyu.github.io/mpltools/auto_examples/style/plot_multiple_styles.html
(PoF = Physics of Fluids journal; IIRC I think I have some
personal stylesheets that take the normal two-column figure
layout and convert it to a full-page layout.)

Sure, I'll be careful about that.
I'm going to go try and design some new interesting
ones.
Maybe adding some styles specific to some plot types
could be useful.
Also some styles specific for some applications
(geoscience, biology)?
If you have any other ideas, please let me know.

It would be good to have styles for "paper" and
"presentation" modes. The former would have smaller
ticks, labels, linewidths, other axis elements that goes
into a journal publication, while the latter with much
magnified elements to be clearly visible on a screen
from the back of a room.
Indeed it would be a very good idea.
I've seen that already in the seaborn lib I guess.

Hi,
I started working on styles based on which support the figure is
designed for (as of now, I've got 'paper', 'notebook', 'talk',
'poster').
For those, in a style point of view, I think only the text size
should be modified (got it done, just need to get the proper sizes
for each style), which is unlike the 'seaborn' way of doing it.
Thing is, by doing so, we don't mess with any style we could apply
using Cascading styles.
Also, I was thinking that I should set the export settings for
each of those styles, but also get an export style folder (with a
few good parameters). This would mean no more need to adjust dpi,
file format, figure size...
Finally, I could add a folder for specific papers, in which the
figure parameters would be tweaked so that we can directly be in a
specific paper format. I guess it would take into account both
text size and export parameters for each paper.
Let me know what you think about it.
Marin Gilles
