My understanding is that right now there are many Julia plotting packages but none of them is quite capable of producing high quality publication ready plots yet, is that right? I wonder if Julia could consider implementing internal Julia plotting capabilities by leveraging the pros of existing plot…

Check out VegaLite.jl , we’ve been using it on a current project to produce all of our figures and so far it has proven more than capable to accommodate a lot of very detailed twists and tweaks, certainly publication quality level. The core trick is to start with the VegaLite.jl docs, but then quickl…

[image] leon: In Matlab, you can use whatever package to plot a subplot, but it is Matlab who handles the layout of the overall figure. In Matlab there is ONLY one plotting system so your example I should be able to make my subplot 1 using Plots.jl, my subplot 2 using GMT.jl, my subplot 3 u…

In Matlab, I can make subplots using any external Matlab plotting toolboxes. Below is how I normally plot figures in Matlab: handle = figure(1) han01 = subplot(2,2,1) plot using whatever package hand02 = subplot(2,2,2) plot using whatever package han03 = subplot(2,2,3) plot using whatever …

Have a look at the M_maps source code. Is calls the Matlab (Java) functions to do the plotting. There is absolutely no way out of this (well, excluding some adventures in calling OpenGL directly). Believe me, I have deep experience with the Matlab plotting system and Mirone is a tool that I dreamed …

That will be down to preference and use cases. But check this out Beautiful Makie Gallery

[image] carstenbauer: Well, the good news is that Julia is open-source. So you could be the person to implement this! :wink: Edit: It seems that @carstenbauer is in a good mood today :-). Edit: I just spotted my previous post was hidden by community flags. Just wanted to add that there was…

Hi, I think the best way to see it, is that matlab has a single plotting system. All other packages, perform their plotting using that single system. As was pointed out, in julia there is not one single plotting system, but many such as Plots.jl, Makie.jl, Gadfly.jl, Gaston.jl and many more. The…

I don’t understand how Matlab is your counterexample to this. You can make decent plots in Matlab, but it takes tons of work. By comparison the defaults in Plots.jl are amazing. And the control capabilities are even better.

I kind of understand @leon point. I use GMT.jl and Plots.jl. But it is hard, from my point of view, to make fast figures with either. My current workflow is to get some simple figures in Julia and then use GMT or Matlab to make my plots for my publication.
