About Boomslang

I created Boomslang to decrease the amount of boilerplate code I had to write when producing graphs for research papers. Boomslang treats data and plots separately and encapsulates them both in objects, giving the programmer the ability to author modular, re-usable graphing code.

Downloading Boomslang

The current stable version of Boomslang is 1.0.

Boomslang requires matplotlib. You can get it at their GitHub page or install it through your favorite package management utility like pip.

FAQ

Q: Plot.plot() seems to fail silently, but Plot.save() works. How do I fix this?

A: The most likely explanation is that your configured backend doesn't support anything but saving. You can try changing your backend to TkAgg by editing your ~/.matplotlib/matplotlibrc file and adding the following line:

backend: TkAgg
