When plotting a contour plot of a quadratic, behaviour is different for Plots and Makie, while Makie is correct. The motivation is to show an iteration of the Newton method. ▶ MWE Makie correctly shows the minimizer in the center of the ellipses while the Plots package is off. Am I doing something w…

When plotting grids or matrices in Plots.jl, you should feed the transpose, i.e.: m_grid'
