``mathxlab.plots.helpers``
==========================

Matplotlib styling and layout helpers.

.. admonition:: Stability
   :class: note

   Status: **Experimental**.

   This project treats the documented names as the *public surface*, but details may still evolve.
   If you need strict API guarantees, add ``__all__ = [...]`` to each module and version releases accordingly.

Design notes
------------
- Keep figure styling consistent across experiments.
- Prefer small helpers over copy/pasted plotting code.
