I guess what the authors suggest is to just write into the REPL ? Axis
When you create a figure essentially you instantiate a Scene and the resolution is then an attribute inside the Scene struct. You can access it with fig.scene.camera.resolution, but I don’t think that you can change it and simply expect it to automatically update.
It never occurred to me to have to manually change the scene attributes after initialization and still I never got to use the Figure.attributes.
Most of the user functionality regarding attributes in Makie is interacting with the ax and plt.
For Axis there are also several functions defined to do this like for example.
Have a look also here for more info in Figure.attributes.
But for more specifics, it all comes down to what exactly you wish to do.
