As I’ve learned julia and written my own composite types, I started creating recipes for Plots.jl. Then I discovered that Makie.jl was better for 3D and interacting so more recent packages I developed used Makie.jl to plot. Is MakieRecipes.jl mature enough to allow the older packages with recipes to work with Makie? Is there a good strategy so I can use both Plots and Makie with my composite types I’ve created?

Is there a tutorial that addresses this? The Makie Recipe tutorial is sometimes confusing.
