Visualisations of data are at the core of every publication of scientific research results. They have to be as clear as possible to facilitate the communication of research. As data can have different formats and shapes, the visualisations often have to be adapted to reflect the data as well as possible. We developed Pylustrator, an interface to directly edit python generated matplotlib graphs to finalize them for publication. Therefore, subplots can be resized and dragged around by the mouse, text and annotations can be added. The changes can be saved to the initial plot file as python code.

Pylustrator wraps matplotlib figures with an interactive GUI layer that captures all edits—repositioning elements, adjusting fonts, adding annotations—and back-converts them to Python code that can be version-controlled alongside the original script. It supports compositing multiple figures into panel layouts and exports fully reproducible publication-ready code, ensuring figures remain programmatically regenerable without manual GUI adjustments in external tools.
