pytest-mpl |release| documentation
##################################

This is a plugin to facilitate image comparison for Matplotlib figures in pytest.
``pytest-mpl`` is a `pytest <https://docs.pytest.org>`__ plugin to facilitate image comparison for `Matplotlib <http://www.matplotlib.org>`__ figures.

For each figure to test, an image is generated and then subtracted from an existing reference image.
If the RMS of the residual is larger than a user-specified tolerance, the test will fail.
Alternatively, the generated image can be hashed and compared to an expected value.
