Styling Framework

Starplot has a styling framework that lets you fully customize the appearance of your plots. The framework consists of a bunch of Pydantic models that represent different things you can style (e.g. markers, lines, labels, etc). Since they're based on Pydantic models, this means you can define new styles through Python code, a JSON, or even a YAML file.

Basic Usage

When you create a plot, you can optionally pass in an instance of a PlotStyle. This instance represents ALL the styling properties to use for the plot.

Using styles is usually a 3-step process:

  1. Create a PlotStyle instance

  2. Extend or override properties

  3. Apply the style to the plot

Example:

from starplot import MapPlot
from starplot.styles import PlotStyle, extensions

# Step 1: create a style
style = PlotStyle()

# Step 2: extend the style with a few built-in extensions
style = style.extend(
    extensions.BLUE_LIGHT,
    extensions.MAP,
)

# Step 3: apply the style in a new map plot
mp = MapPlot(
    ra_min=4,
    ra_max=8,
    dec_min=0,
    dec_max=20,
    style=style,
)

The sections below go into more detail around these steps.

Creating a Style

Creating a style is simple:

from starplot.styles import PlotStyle

style = PlotStyle()

After creating the style, you can modify properties of the style directly:

style.star.marker.color = "red"
style.star.label.font_size = 20

This works well when you only want to change a couple properties, but for more complex styling it's easier to use PlotStyle's extend method which is explained in the next section.

Extending a Style

Once you have an instance of a PlotStyle, then you can customize it with the PlotStyle's extend method. This method takes in one or more args of dictionaries and applies them to the original style in sequential order. In other words, when extending a PlotStyle, you only have to define style properties that you want to override from the current style — similar to how Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) work.

Starplot has a few built-in extensions for applying color schemes and optimizing different plot types. But, you can also easily create your own extensions.

Basic Example

Here's a simple example of extending a style to use a different font for Bayer labels of stars:

from starplot import PlotStyle

style = PlotStyle().extend(
    {
        "bayer_labels": {
            "font_name": "GFS Didot",
            "font_size": 10
        }
    }
)
Alternatively, you can do this: 
style = PlotStyle()
style.bayer_labels.font_name = "GFS Didot"
style.bayer_labels.font_size = 10

More Complex Example

The method above works well for overriding a few style properties, but if you want to create a more complex style then it's probably easier to define it in a YAML file and use PlotStyle's load_from_file static method.

Example:

# style.yml

# make the Milky Way gray
milky_way:
  alpha: 0.36
  color: '#888'

# change the color of star labels to blue and
# and change their symbol from dots to stars
star:
  label:
    font_color: '#0e69b8'
  marker:
    symbol: star

# make nebulas green and their markers diamonds
dso_nebula:
  marker:
    color: green
    symbol: diamond

Then, to use your new style:

from starplot import PlotStyle, MapPlot

style = PlotStyle.load_from_file("style.yml")

p = MapPlot(
    ra_min=4,
    ra_max=8,
    dec_min=0,
    dec_max=20,
    style=style,
)

Built-in Style Extensions

Starplot has a bunch of built-in style extensions (all imported from starplot.styles.extensions):

  • Color Schemes
    • GRAYSCALE - Optimized for printing in grayscale (details)
    • GRAYSCALE_DARK - Like GRAYSCALE, but inverted (white stars, black background) (details)
    • BLUE_LIGHT - Light and bright colors (details)
    • BLUE_MEDIUM - Medium brightness bluish gray colors (details)
    • BLUE_DARK - Dark "Starplot blue" colors (details)
    • ANTIQUE - Antique map inspired colors (details)
    • NORD - Nord-inspired colors (details)
  • Plot types
    • OPTIC - Basic styling tailored for optic plots (details)
    • MAP - Basic styling tailored for map plots (details)

Overriding Styles When Plotting

After you create a plot instance and start plotting stuff (e.g. stars, DSOs, etc), then you may want to override the plot's style sometimes. For example, you may want to plot the brightest stars with one style and the dimmer stars with a different style (see the example map of Sagittarius which uses different markers for brighter stars). Luckily, Starplot provides two easy ways to do this:

  1. Via style kwarg

    All plotting calls have an optional style kwarg that lets you pass in a dictionary of any styles you want to override for that plotting call. For example, here's how you can plot bright stars with a different marker and color than the plot's style:
    p.stars(
    mag=3,
    style={
        "marker": {
            "symbol": "star",
            "color": "red",
        }
    }
)

  2. Via style__* kwargs

    When you only want to override one or two style properties, it can be tedious to create a dictionary, so Starplot also lets you specify overrides through keyword arguments that start with style__ and separate each level by __. For example, we could re-write the previous example like this:

    p.stars(
    mag=3,
    style__marker__symbol="star",
    style__marker__color="red",
)

When overriding styles like this, you only have to define style properties you want to override. Other properties will be inherited from the plot's style.

dump_to_file 

dump_to_file(filename: str) -> None

Save the style to a YAML file. ALL style properties will be written to the file.

Parameters:

  • filename (str) –

    Filename of style file

extend 

extend(*args, **kwargs) -> PlotStyle

Adds one or more dicts of style overrides to the style and returns a new instance with those overrides.

Styles are added in sequential order, so if the first style arg has a property that is also in the last style arg, then the resulting style will have the value from the last style (similar to how CSS works).

Example Usage

Create an extension of the default style with the light blue color scheme, map optimizations, and change the constellation line color to red:

new_style = PlotStyle().extend(
    styles.extensions.BLUE_LIGHT,
    styles.extensions.MAP,
    {
        "constellation": {"line": {"color": "#e12d2d"}},
    },
)

Parameters:

  • args –

    One or more dicts of styles to add

Returns:

  • PlotStyle ( PlotStyle ) –

    A new instance of a PlotStyle

get_dso_style 

get_dso_style(dso_type: DsoType)

Returns the style for a DSO type

load_from_file staticmethod 

load_from_file(filename: str) -> PlotStyle

Load a style from a YAML file. The returned style is an extension of the default PlotStyle (see PlotStyle.extend), so you only need to define properties you want to override from the default.

Parameters:

  • filename (str) –

    Filename of style file

Returns:

  • PlotStyle ( PlotStyle ) –

    A new instance of a PlotStyle
