Request to add ProPlot to the climate conda environment

Would it be possible to get ProPlot added to the climate conda environment? ProPlot is a matplotlib wrapper designed to make it easier to make publication-quality figures. I know several scientists at the Bureau who are using it via there own conda environments but I suspect it would be of value to many others in the community.

Hi Rob, thanks for your message. I am just looking into this now and will get back to you. There are few people heading off on leave, but hopefully we can get you an answer.

Hi Rob,

With the support transition from CLEX to ACCESS-NRI, we currently provide limited support for the environment on hh5. More details can be found here: https://forum.access-hive.org.au/t/nri-climate-conda-environments-information-to-users/3939.

Our plan is to transition to project xp65 at the beginning of the year, and I am currently working on a management plan for the Conda environment. In the meantime, we are not planning to add new packages to the current environment. However, I will take note of your request and get back to you in January regarding this.

@robwarren If you want to use ProPlot before it’s installed centrally, see this article on how to install additional packages on top of the conda environment.

Hi @robwarren,

Proplot doesn’t appear to be actively maintained and is currently causing compatibility issues with the latest version of Matplotlib. As a result, we’re unable to include it in the analysis3 environment. I recommend following @clairecarouge’s suggestion instead.

Hi @rbeucher. It looks like ProPlot has been superceded by UltraPlot (🚀 Key Features | Create More, Code Less — UltraPlot documentation). Any chance that this can be added instead?

Hi @robwarren,

ultraplot has been added to conda/analysis3-25.04

Use:

module use /g/data/xp65/public/modules
module load conda/analysis3-25.04
