I am working on my understanding of the Makie package. In the plot from the help documentation ( https://makie.juliaplots.org/dev/examples/layoutables/legend/ ), different markers get used with their legend labels determined by the label argument. Is this argument considered an attribute? I ask as …

Kind of but not really. What is listed under help_attributes are keyword arguments that modify the plot somehow, like color etc. But you’re not limited to those - you can pass whatever you want as a kwarg and it’ll end up in plot.attributes (like all other attributes). Legends make use of that with l…

This part grew a bit organically, we will think about the place for attributes like that which every plot object should have for future refactors. The attributes dict has become a bit messy

Thanks! I would never have figured this out on my own.

Gotcha: I think Makie is a tremendously ambitious and cool package. As I learn it, I keep having mental hiccoughs due to some of this organic growth as I try to digest it all, but I do think that will all get resolved in time. Thx!

Yes I definitely understand how some things are confusing from the outside. Often it’s not clear what the best direction to go in is until some approaches are tried “live” and you go on for a couple months. So sometimes this leads to less than ideal implementations just because we don’t want to rele…
