Pull Request Description

Title: Add Styles for USENIX and ACM Conferences

Related Issue: New style for USENIX and ACM

---

Overview:

This pull request introduces two new style files for the USENIX and ACM conferences within the SciencePlots repository. These styles are designed for use with Matplotlib and offer configurations tailored specifically for two-column journal formats, addressing the request mentioned in Issue #129.

Changes Made:

1. Created New Style Files:

   • usenix.mplstyle: This file includes settings optimal for USENIX conference submissions, allowing users to generate plots that meet the required dimensions and font specifications.
   • acm.mplstyle: Similar to the USENIX style, this file is tailored for ACM conferences with its own set of configurations.

2. Specifications Include:

   • Figure Size and DPI: The styles set the figure size to maximize the space while adhering to the guidelines of the respective conferences.
   • Color and Line Styles: The color cycle and line styles are adjusted to produce clear, black-and-white graphs, suitable for publication.
   • Font Configurations: Default font sizes and families are defined, consistent with the formatting standards of USENIX and ACM.

3. Updated .gitignore:

   • Added entries for .aider* to ensure that unnecessary files are not tracked in the repository.

Example Output:

An example plot generated from the newly added USENIX style can be visualized below:

Next Steps:

• Please review the added style files and provide any feedback or suggestions for further adjustments.
• After approval, we can merge these styles into the main branch.

Note:

This contribution addresses the request in Issue #129, and upon merging, it will resolve this issue.

I do not accept LLM-generated PRs, since it will make me waste more time by commanding a probably less-than-useful tool, and making sure things are the intended changes. A real person is encouraged to review these changes and pick up the work, or start from scratch, it is not like this was too difficult. The time-consuming part is reading the official style specification and translating to a .mplstyle.
