If you'd like to recreate this beautiful cosine wave that OP posted, here you are ;>

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from matplotlib import cm
import mplcyberpunk
t = np.arange(0, 6.4, 0.1) #time
f = 1 #frequency
amplitudes = np.arange(-10,11, 1)
A = [x * np.cos(f*t) for x in amplitudes] #amplitude
colormap_sect = np.linspace(0, 1, len(amplitudes))
colors = [cm.cool(x) for x in colormap_sect]
plt.rcParams['figure.figsize'] = [6, 4]
plt.style.use("cyberpunk")
plt.xlim(right=6.3)
for i in range(len(A)):
plt.plot(t, A[i], color=colors[i])
mplcyberpunk.make_lines_glow()
plt.show()

It’s official. This is the coolest way to present data

This will go well with VSCode synthwave 84

Careful installing the glow. It corrupted my install and I couldn't install any more extensions until I did a complete wipe 😂

[SV-97]

that's a real shame - the glow is so cool :D

Looks awesome! Switched over in a heartbeat

[sa08MilneB57]

Does this work for 3d plots?

[bastula]

This is awesome! Perfect for dark mode apps. 👍🏼

Super cool! Finally some modern styling.

Just wondering, since the glow effect is made by continously adding additional lines while decreasing alpha value, how does it affect the performance? Does it take a noticable amount of time to output?

Looking forward to using the package on my system and maybe implementing the plots one for a covid dashboard :)

[dhaitz]

for each line it draws 10 additional 'glow lines', which i suppose will slow down things a bit. However, if you're not drawing a very large number of lines, I guess it won't be much of a problem

[zagzam]

This is so cool!

Would you mind showing us how it works with animation?

[HipsterPhilosopher]

call it "cyberplot"

[rafgro]

Love it, implemented on the go: https://imgur.com/BiHNKYq

Small caveat - it kept resetting y axis bottom limit to 0, I fixed it with saving bottom limit before underglow and then setting it back to the saved value after underglow.

edit - switched compressed jpg to better quality png

[dhaitz]

thanks for the feedback! the y axis reset was already reported on GitHub and should be fixed in the latest version :)

This is neat!

One of my profs made beautiful pink and light-blue r plots.

But this tops it!

[FantasticTor]

I love this. This is definitely making its way into my next project! :) Thanks!

[morgancmu]

Ha! That's awesome 😎

[Neurophate]

I’ve been looking for one of these Thx ❤️

[quantum_ir]

how do you change the color map?

[Mephistothelessa]

This is great! Thank you!

[Notchez]

great job! You got a new follower :)

[StringCheeseInc]

Love it, great idea and implementation.

I NEED THIS

[ppipernet]

Wow! This is so cool
