Last January I was walking around the place where the posters were being presented at the American Astronomical Society meeting in Long Beach. I stumbled upon a very interesting poster advertising the astroplotlib web page.
The purpose of this page, in the language of its curator, is that it is
[...] a multi-language astronomical library of plots. It is a collection of templates that are useful to create paper-quality figures. So far all codes are written in IDL, some in Python and very few in Mathematica.
Most of the codes available there are written in IDL (ugh) but there are quite a few for Python. I hope the python codebase will grow in the future.
For instance, I have been using Bayesian modeling of data and I need to plot contours for the joint distribution of parameters as well as the separate posterior distribution histograms, all in the same plot. After a quick search in the website, I found the code I need to get started.
If you have contributions (codes or suggestions), please contact the webmaster, Leonardo Ubeda.
