hi i have a look on the page : http://julialang.org/downloads/plotting.html and on this page also : http://computationalnumericaljulia.com/plotting-in-julia-i/ i feel lost with all these differrent directions ? each direction needs time and energy to be installed and to be tamed my purpose is …

vincent– choosing between multiple solutions to the same problem is not unique to plotting or julia. there are numerous logging and benchmarking packages to choose from in julia for example, and other open-source languages like python have similar parallel efforts. the first thing i do when confr…

I’m running firefox on linux and the plots on the following page http://gadflyjl.org/stable/man/plotting.html are displaying with fonts that are much too large. I also downloaded the latest version for 0.5 and got the same result when I ran the examples. gadfly problem or firefox problem ?

[image] purplishrock: are displaying with fonts that are much too large Do you have the “Minimum font size” setting (it’s found in Preferences under the “Content” tab and “Advanced…” button) set to something other than “None”? Changing that to “None” fixed it for me.

[image] bjarthur: the first thing i do when confronted with such a choice is to check how many people “watch”, “star”, and “fork” each of the packages’ github page. then i click on the graphs tab of each package and see if it is actively maintained (ie there is a steady continuous stream of com…

On Plots.jl: [image] ChrisRackauckas: I think that’s the wrong criteria for most users. I think the right criteria is: it always works is fast Just making one note, while Plots.jl seems awesome (not yet tried… should); you’re comparing apples to an orange. Plots.jl is a wrapper for many, …

I think it is fair to say that Gadfly and Plots (with backends, which BTW does not include Gadfly) are both state-of-the-art and should be preferred entry points for new users, as most julia users seem to prefer one of these plotting packages. They are really quite different things, I agree (I share…

Whats wrong with PyPlot? Its a pretty mature package and Matplotlib is a widespread piece of software.

Absolutely nothing. I use it every day. But is there any reason to prefer PyPlot over e.g. GR or PlotlyJS?

[image] mkborregaard: I really don’t know why the official julialang page should be pointing new users to PyPlot, though. There are lots of good plotting packages for julia (used by themselves or as Plots backends), and I don’t see any reason to prefer PyPlot among those. [image] tknopp: W…
