matplot2tikz is a Python library that converts matplotlib figures into PGFPlots/TikZ code for native inclusion in LaTeX or ConTeXt documents. It recursively traverses a matplotlib Figure tree, translating each artist (lines, patches, images, colorbars, legends, text, etc.) into corresponding PGFPlots commands. The library provides two main entry points: `get_tikz_code()` returns the TikZ code as a string, and `save()` writes it to a file. It also includes a `clean_figure()` function that simplifies paths and reduces data points to minimize output size while preserving visual fidelity. The architecture is modular, with dedicated modules for each artist type (e.g., `_line2d.py`, `_patch.py`, `_axes.py`), a central data class (`TikzData`) to carry configuration and state, and a recursive traversal in `_save.py`. External dependencies include matplotlib, numpy, Pillow, and webcolors. The codebase is well-tested with over 170 test files and uses modern Python tooling (ruff, mypy, tox). It is a fork of the unmaintained tikzplotlib and is actively maintained with recent commits and CI.
