A simple, dark-background color style for the Matplotlib plotting library for Python, based on Pavel Pertsevs Gruvbox color palette and theme, that I have mainly made to fit in to my Emacs/org-mode theme.
I may include the light-background Gruvbox variant later, but I mainly made this to have a good dark-background style.
I made this based on this blog post Héloïse Stevance (@sydonahi on Twitter), and adding a bit of extra spice.
This is what a simple multi line plot looks like. The data used are filter throughput curves for the UVIS and IR channels at the Hubble Space Telescope.

To try it out, place the file gruvbox.mplstyle in the folder you are
working in, and insert the lines:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.style.use('gruvbox.mplstyle')to your script or notebook.
To make it available from anywhere, follow the instructions in the blog post linked above.
- The theme sets a background color for the figure canvas and one for
the Axes. If you want the figure canvas to be transparent, set:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt plt.rcParams['figure.facecolor'] = 'none'
somewhere in your working code, or comment out the corresponding line in the
.mplstylefile to get rid of it for good.
