Scitex Gists
SigmaPlot v12 macro snippets as printable Python functions — for researchers who still format figures in SigmaPlot and want reproducible VB-style macros stashed in a Python environment. Public API (4 symbols, 2 pairs of snake_case + legacy camelCase aliases) — `sigmacro_process_figure_s()` / `SigMacro_processFigure_S()` (print a VB macro that applies SigmaPlot figure-processing defaults — axis/line widths, fonts, tick sizes), `sigmacro_to_blue()` / `SigMacro_toBlue()` (print a macro that recolors a SigmaPlot figure's series to a blue palette). Both functions emit macro text to stdout — copy-paste into SigmaPlot's macro editor. No CLI, no MCP tools, intentionally narrow. Drop-in replacement for maintaining VB `.sbm` macro files outside version control, stashing SigmaPlot formatting instructions in lab notebooks, or re-deriving figure style every time. Use whenever the user asks to "get the SigmaPlot figure-formatting macro", "print the VB macro for blue recolor", "auto-format a SigmaPlot figure", or mentions `scitex.gists`, SigMacro, SigmaPlot v12 automation.
From the source SKILL.md
Tiny utility package hosting SigmaPlot macro snippets as Python functions that print the macro text. Intended for researchers who still use SigmaPlot v12 and want a reproducible way to stash figure-formatting macros in a Python environment. Do not expect a broad API.
