===========
DataMapPlot
===========

Creating beautiful plots of data maps. DataMapPlot is a small library designed to help you make beautiful data map
plots for inclusion in presentations, posters and papers. The focus is on producing static plots that are great
looking with as little work for you as possible. All you need to do is label clusters of points in the data map and
DataMapPlot will take care of the rest. While this involves automating most of the aesthetic choices, the library
provides a wide variety of ways to customize the resulting plot to your needs.

Some examples of the kind of output that DataMapPlot can provide.

A basic plot, with some highlighted labels:
