plotlet cookbook

Worked examples of multi-component, domain-specific plots — annotated heatmap layouts, genome browser tracks, and similar substantial recipes that compose custom artists with plotlet's layout algebra.

Requirements: pip install plotlet. (These recipes use only core plotlet — no separate install needed.)

The cookbook is intentionally small. Each recipe earns its directory by needing ancillary material (sample data, baselines, helper logic) and demonstrating non-obvious composition, custom artists, or coordinate patterns (e.g. circle/ shows non-affine coordinates via post-render SVG warping). Each recipe is self-contained — browse the subdirectories directly; there is no central index.

How to use a recipe

1. Copy the recipe folder into your project.
2. Register any custom artists with pt.add_artist(pt.ArtistSpec(...)) — see docs/EXTENDING.md for the full API.
3. Adjust styling, data shape, and details for your use case.
