A small utility library that captures calls to matplotlib's pyplot interface and saves the data being plotted together with the plotting commands. In this way it allows easy re-plotting when the user's otherwise omitted to keep proper record of the data.
For example:
import xpyplot as plt
import numpy
x=numpy.array([1,2,3])
plt.plot(x, x*2+1)
plt.savefig("testsample.png")
will produce the expected plot `testsample.png` but also a script
`testsample.script.py`:
plot1=numpy.load(open("testsample.plot1.npy", "rb"))
plot0=numpy.load(open("testsample.plot0.npy", "rb"))
pyplot.plot(*[plot0, plot1, ], **{}, scalex=True, scaley=True, data=None, )
pyplot.savefig(fname="testsample.png", )
and two numpy array files `testsample.plot1.npy` and
`testsample.plot0.npy`. Running the generated script will
reproduce the original plot.
