Hi guys!

I have now parallelized all codes about computation except plotting. I am trying to find a way to boost the plotting. Is there any plot package that supports multithreading now?

and I also want to know if Makie.jl or Plots.jl can work in a distributed program.

Many thanks!

Distributed is different than multithreading I would say. I think Makie should work in a distributed way where you have it running on different processes. It will probably not work running on different threads as it was not written with thread safety as a goal and there is some global state.

Thank you! I would try Makie in that way:)
