Matplotlib style ROOT-backend plotting package

• YAML config based plotting
• minimal: python3 makeplot.py --config configs/test_config.yaml
• For more options check makeplot.py macro

Usage:

usage: makeplot.py [-h] [--config CONFIG] [--inputdir INPUTDIR] [--samples SAMPLES] [--test] [--stack]

options:
  -h, --help           show this help message and exit
  --config CONFIG      configuration file for plotting
  --inputdir INPUTDIR  input path of the directory containing files
  --samples SAMPLES    string separated samples list
  --test               test the script for a few plots
  --stack              enable stack plot settings with this flag

Unit-test:

• jupyter notebook: unittest_pyplotlib.ipynb (look at the demo! It is fun!)
• TODO: Github actions workflow or CI/CD pipeline

What you can do with it:

• publication level plot (CMS/ATLAS)
• overlay of any samples
• usual background stack, signal overlaid, data overlaid style plotting
• Flexible binning
• Signal significance study (S/rootB in ratio plot added now in makeplot.py macro!)

Wishlist:

• TGraph (limit plots!)
• anything else
• Improving coding style/pip installation may be
