how to use it

Copy the file cpi.mplstyle into the directory with your analysis and tell matplotlib to use this style:

from matplotlib import pyplot
pyplot.style.use('./cpi.mplstyle')

For usage with other graphing libraries like searborn:

from matplotlib import pyplot
import seaborn
pyplot.style.use('./cpi.mplstyle')

Be aware that the set* functions of seaborn (like set_theme) might mess with the matplotlib style. The seaborn.set_palette() function to change line colors seems to be woring fine

set as default style

To use this style as your default matplotlib style, have a look at the matplotlib documentation, I haven't tried it out so far.

how to make changes

Please add changes only to the file custom cpi style.txt. After modifying the file use python3 compile.py to generate a file with custom styles.

If you are curios on how the examples were created, have a look at the Jupyter Notebook example.ipynb.
