Re: [Matplotlib-users] Plotting style

[Thomas C. <tca...@gm...>]

That repo should probably be folded together with Tony Yu's style gallery
code and eventually be migrated to live under the main matplotlib
organization.

I would also advocate for adding a bit of code into that repo to make it
importable and to register all/some of it's style files with the
USER_LIBRARY_PATHS attribute in mpl.style.core so that these things 'just
work' by name if you import `mpl_styles` (ex `style.use('journals.pre')`
would enable the styles for Physical Review E).
