plotID is a program connected to Research Data Management (RDM). It has two main functionalities:
1. Tag your plot with an identifier.
2. Export the resulting file to a specified directory along the corresponding research data, the plot is based on. Additionally, the script that created the plot will also be copied to the directory.
**Note:** To run PlotID python version ≥ 3.10 is required.

## Installation
Currently there are two options to run PlotID. Either install it via pip from the Python Package Index (PyPi) or install PlotID from the source code.

### From PyPi with pip
1. [Optional] Create a virtual environment and activate it:
```bash
pip install venv
mkdir venv
python3 -m venv
source venv/bin/activate
python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate # Unix
```
```cmd
venv\Scripts\activate.bat # Windows Command Prompt
venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1 # Windows PowerShell
```
2. Install PlotID
`pip install --upgrade --index-url https://test.pypi.org/simple/ example-package-plotid-test`
### From PyPi with pip
2. Install plotID
`pip install plotid --extra-index-url=https://test.pypi.org/simple/`
If you also want to run the unittests use `plotid[test]` instead of `plotid`.
### From source
1. Download the source code from [Gitlab](https://git.rwth-aachen.de/plotid/plotid_python):
2. Download the source code from [Gitlab](https://git.rwth-aachen.de/plotid/plotid_python):

Tag your figure/plot with an ID.
`tagplot(figures, plot_engine)`
The variable "figures" can be a single figure or a list of multiple figures.
The argument "plot_engine" defines which plot engine was used to create the figures. It also determines which plot engine PlotID uses to place the ID on the plot. Currently supported plot engines are:
