Introduction
------------

**CatPlot** is a Python Library for Energy Profile and Abstract Grid(2D/3D) plotting.

Installation
------------

1. Via pip (recommend)::

    pip install catplot

2. From source::

    python setup.py install


See `examples <https://github.com/PytLab/catplot/tree/master/examples>`_ for more details(Continuously updated).


Energy Profile Plotting
-----------------------

**CatPlot** can plot energy profile using interpolation algorithm.

Plot an energy profile for an elementary reaction.

.. code-block:: python

    >>> from catplot.ep_components.ep_canvas import EPCanvas
    >>> from catplot.ep_components.ep_lines import ElementaryLine

    # Create an energy profile canvas.
    >>> canvas = EPCanvas()

    # Create an energy profile line.
    >>> line = ElementaryLine([0.0, 1.2, 0.8])

    # Add line to canvas.
    >>> canvas.add_line(line)

    # Plot it.
    >>> canvas.draw()
    >>> canvas.figure.show()

Result:

2D Grid Plotting
----------------

You can use **CatPlot** to plot abstract lattice grid, see  `example <https://github.com/PytLab/catplot/tree/master/examples/grid_2d_examples/expand_supercell.ipynb>`_ for details.

Result:

3D Grid Plotting
----------------

Now **CatPlot** can plot abstract 3D lattice grid, see `example <https://github.com/PytLab/catplot/tree/master/examples/grid_3d_examples/expand_3d_supercell.ipynb>`_ for plot details.
