In OchoaLab/ochoalabtools: Handy plotting and other tools for scientific publications

ochoalabtools

The goal of ochoalabtools is to package some handy wrappers to common tasks with better defaults, to reduce typing. The focus is on plotting for scientific publications, but a few other random functions are also available. Mainly for personal use and/or within the lab.
