I need to generate a lot of plots(thousands) and save them to disk as png. Nothing fancy, just some scatter plots with legend, preferably with the option to adjust the resolution(number of points per plot is less than 1000). I’m not concerned about the time to first plot because all the plots are ge…

@Mason there are some themes here now, I’ll add more in the coming weeks https://makie.juliaplots.org/stable/predefined_themes.html

Note that Makie is not one of the choices it considers Yes, it seems Makie can’t be a backend to Plots.jl, may replace it: Transition to Plots.jl opened 12:20PM - 31 Oct 17 UTC (UTC) closed 07:33AM - 26 Jul 21…

I think this would be a shame, for reasons mentioned here Plots.jl PGFplotsX backend is a massive boon for Julia

I wonder if Plots.jl could be a Makie backend.

I don’t think that making everything a backend of everything else is going to pan out well in the long run. In the short run it was a perfect stopgap measure: plotting libraries require a lot of investment, because of all the finicky low level details (font/text metrics, various heuristics like axi…

I am doing something similar here for semiconductor testing. We have test systems which generate large quantities of data in the form of test files, most of which are similar to CSV files. I am generating the report which includes thousands of plots in the data section of the report. This accompa…

There was some discussion above about what plots look good, and what don’t… Personally, the best plots I’ve seen have been in Edward Tufte’s books, physical books. I’ve been considering if I should just order the whole set of them. My former employer had a couple. No, the Tufte-like computer plots …

@StatisticalMouse , this booklet by Tufte, seems to have made some history.

I have been trying to promote the use of Julia at my workplace. The very first person that tried it out for actual work came to me with, I tried to use Plots with the blah-blah-blah backend and it doesn’t work. I don’t remember what the back-end was. Now i tell everyone up-front, use PyPlot. T…

Thanks, that looks pretty good on this 10.5” ipad pro. I tried some font identifying with Google and WhatTheFont , which worked reasonably well, or at least better than a couple of other font-identifying services. Then found this in https://www.edwardtufte.com/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg?msg_id=00009r …
