That does look nicer - thanks! At the end of the day this will allow me to generate my plots, but it’s a bit inconvenient because my other plots unfortunately don’t work with `pgfplotsx()` (and they’re slow, so I want to use GR for its promised speed). Simply changing the backend for some of the plots doesn’t work in my code as written, because of [this issue](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/defining-plots-in-function-results-in-world-problem/42401) where you can’t change plot backends within a function. In any case, I’ll mark this as the solution since the original problem is a known issue with the GR backend.
