cantuccio: yet another corner plot library

 

can·tuc·cio | /kan'tutːʃo/ noun [masculine]

1. an Italian biscuit from Tuscany.
2. corner, nook.

cantuccio is a Python library for creating corner plots, automatically handling the layout and size of labels, ticks, and legends. It is designed to be flexible and easy to use, allowing users to create publication-quality corner plots with minimal code. When dealing with large datasets, cantuccio can utilize the KDEpy package for faster KDE estimation.

Visual choices are inspired by many of the existing corner plot libraries, with particular credit to corner, chainconsumer, cornetto, and makecorner.

# Create a corner plot
fig, axs = ct.cornerplot(data_dict)
fig.show()
