Use this command to install pandoc-plot:

winget install --id=LaurentPRenedeCotret.pandoc-plot -e

Pandoc-plot is a pandoc filter designed to generate figures from source code directly within Pandoc documents. This tool simplifies the process of embedding dynamic visualizations by supporting multiple plotting tools (e.g., matplotlib, ggplot2) and enabling seamless integration into LaTeX/PDF workflows.

Key Features:

Support for various plotting libraries and frameworks
Automatic figure numbering and referencing
Cross-platform compatibility
Integration with Pandoc's ecosystem
Extensibility via plugins or custom rendering

Ideal for researchers, technical writers, and educators who need to include high-quality, reproducible figures in their documents. Pandoc-plot helps reduce manual work while maintaining document integrity and visual appeal. It can be installed via winget for easy setup across platforms.

pandoc-plot

A Pandoc filter to generate figures from code blocks in documents

pandoc-plot turns code blocks present in your documents (Markdown, LaTeX, etc.) into embedded figures, using your plotting toolkit of choice, including Matplotlib, ggplot2, MATLAB, Mathematica, and more.

Overview

This program is a Pandoc filter. It can therefore be used in the middle of conversion from input format to output format, replacing code blocks with figures.

The filter recognizes code blocks with classes that match plotting toolkits. For example, using the matplotlib toolkit:

# My document

This is a paragraph.

```{.matplotlib}
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

plt.figure()
plt.plot([0,1,2,3,4], [1,2,3,4,5])
plt.title('This is an example figure')
```

Putting the above in input.md, we can then generate the plot and embed it in an HTML page:

pandoc --filter pandoc-plot input.md --output output.html

The resulting output.html looks like this:

<h1>My document</h1>

<p>This is a paragraph.</p>
