tikzplotlib

✓ import tikzplotlib

✗ import tikzplotlib

Convert a matplotlib figure to a TikZ file using tikzplotlib.save().

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt import numpy as np x = np.linspace(0, 2*np.pi, 100) plt.plot(x, np.sin(x)) plt.title('Simple sine wave') tikzplotlib.save('sine_wave.tex')

tikzplotlib --version

Known issues

breakingIn tikzplotlib 0.10.x, the function 'tikzplotlib.save()' now returns the TikZ code as a string if no filename is given. Previously, it always wrote to a file. This can break scripts that do not expect a return value.

fix

Assign the return value or check if None when providing a filename. Use 'return_str=False' to suppress string output.

affects: >=0.10.0

deprecatedThe module 'tikzplotlib.save' is deprecated since 0.9.0. Use 'tikzplotlib.save()' directly (the function, not a submodule).

fix

Replace 'from tikzplotlib.save import ...' with 'import tikzplotlib' and call 'tikzplotlib.save(...)'.

affects: >=0.9.0

gotchatikzplotlib requires matplotlib to be installed and the figure to be fully rendered before calling save. Otherwise, the output may be incomplete or raise AttributeError.

fix

Always call plt.show() or ensure the figure is properly closed before saving, or use tikzplotlib with 'plt.gcf()'.

affects: all
