### Links
* [jupyterthemes on PyPI](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/jupyterthemes/)
* [jupyterthemes on GitHub](https://github.com/dunovank/jupyter-themes)
### Requirements
* Python 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7 and 3.8
* Jupyter ([Anaconda](https://www.continuum.io/downloads) recommended)
* matplotlib
### Install with pip
```sh
# install jupyterthemes
pip install jupyterthemes
# upgrade to latest version
pip install --upgrade jupyterthemes
```
### Install with conda
```sh
# install jupyterthemes
conda install -c conda-forge jupyterthemes
# update to latest version
conda update jupyterthemes
```
### Known issues
- **for best results:** use notebook>=5.6.0 (`pip install --upgrade notebook`)
- **refreshing / removing / resetting:** depending on your system, browser, etc., you may need to empty your browser cache after installing a new theme (`-t`) or attempting to restore the default (`-r`) in order for those changes to take effect. (see discussion [here](https://github.com/dunovank/jupyter-themes/issues/86)). At the very least you'll need to refresh your browser window (usually `cmd+r` or `ctrl+r`).
- **install issue:** if you get an error saying `jt` is not recognized, try [this](https://github.com/dunovank/jupyter-themes/issues/92#issuecomment-300688587) fix.
- **slow render when scrolling:** fix available [here](https://github.com/dunovank/jupyter-themes/issues/117#issuecomment-296391443)

### Command Line Examples
```sh

# onedork | grade3 | oceans16 | chesterish | monokai | solarizedl | solarizedd
jt -l
# select theme...
jt -t chesterish
# restore default theme
# NOTE: Need to delete browser cache after running jt -r
# If this doesn't work, try starting a new notebook session.
jt -r
# toggle toolbar ON and notebook name ON
jt -t grade3 -T -N
# toggle kernel logo. kernel logo is in same container as name
# toggled with -N. That means that making the kernel logo visible is
# pointless without also making the name visible
jt -t grade3 -N -kl
# set code font to 'Roboto Mono' 12pt
# (see monospace font table below)
jt -t onedork -f roboto -fs 12
# set code font to Fira Mono, 11.5pt
# 3digit font-sizes get converted into float (115-->11.5)
# 2digit font-sizes > 25 get converted into float (85-->8.5)
jt -t solarizedd -f fira -fs 115
# set font/font-size of markdown (text cells) and notebook (interface)
# see sans-serif & serif font tables below
jt -t oceans16 -tf merriserif -tfs 10 -nf ptsans -nfs 13
# adjust cell width (% screen width) and line height
jt -t chesterish -cellw 90% -lineh 170
# or set the cell width in pixels by leaving off the '%' sign
jt -t solarizedl -cellw 860
# fix the container-margins on the intro page (defaults to 'auto')
jt -t monokai -m 200
# adjust cursor width (in px) and make cursor red
# options: b (blue), o (orange), r (red), p (purple), g (green), x (font color)
jt -t oceans16 -cursc r -cursw 5
# choose alternate prompt layout (narrower/no numbers)

### Set Plotting Style (from within notebook)
`jtplot.style()` makes changes to matplotlib's rcParams dictionary so that figure aesthetics match those of a chosen jupyterthemes style. In addition to setting the color scheme, `jtplot.style()` allows you to control various figure properties (spines, grid, font scale, etc.) as well as the plotting "context" (borrowed from [seaborn](https://seaborn.pydata.org/tutorial/aesthetics.html#scaling-plot-elements-with-plotting-context-and-set-context)).
Note, these commands do not need to be re-run every time you generate a new plot, just once at the beginning of your notebook or whenever style changes are desired after that.
**Pro-tip**: Include the following two lines in `~/.ipython/profile_default/startup/startup.ipy` file to set plotting style automatically whenever you start a notebook:
```py
# import jtplot submodule from jupyterthemes
from jupyterthemes import jtplot
# currently installed theme will be used to
# set plot style if no arguments provided
jtplot.style()
```
### jtplot.style() Examples
```py
# import jtplot module in notebook
from jupyterthemes import jtplot
# choose which theme to inherit plotting style from
# onedork | grade3 | oceans16 | chesterish | monokai | solarizedl | solarizedd
jtplot.style(theme='onedork')
# set "context" (paper, notebook, talk, poster)
# scale font-size of ticklabels, legend, etc.
# remove spines from x and y axes and make grid dashed
jtplot.style(context='talk', fscale=1.4, spines=False, gridlines='--')
# turn on X- and Y-axis tick marks (default=False)
# turn off the axis grid lines (default=True)
# and set the default figure size
jtplot.style(ticks=True, grid=False, figsize=(6, 4.5))
# reset default matplotlib rcParams
jtplot.reset()
```
