A simple workaround is to skip recipes entirely and instead write a function that explicitly constructs the plot the way you want. If this lives in a Makie extension, you retain essentially the same benefits. Most importantly, your package does not need to depend on Makie directly.

For example, in your case:

```julia
function some_plot(img)
    image_size = reverse(size(img))
    f2 = Figure(size = image_size, figure_padding = 0)
    scene = LScene(f2[1,1])
    imshow!(scene,img)
    campixel!(scene)
    scene.show_axis = false
    display(f2)
end

```
