I just want to summarize, so I am sure I understood correctly what you suggested:
- I export the data to e.g. csv file with Julia
(from here no Julia) - for every figure in my document I have a seperate .tex file, where I do the plotting with pgfplots and use e.g. standalone class to save as pdf
- then I import the .pdf figure, as I already do.
So, in other words, you suggest not using any Julia plotting library/wrapper at all, but instead use pgfplots directly in LaTeX, not the pgfplots or the pgfplotsx backend?
I asked people in my department, but very few are using Julia and none of them are doing their plots with Julia.
I hoped to get away with using Julia code only and not having to learn a new (complicated) plotting interface/language.
EDIT: I am still in the phase of finding what works best for me. I am always open for suggestions and ideas!
