Let’s say you wanted to make a plot like:
How would you make a radial gradient using Plots.jl with the PGFPlots backend?
Current attempt:
cur_theta = linspace(0,2*pi)
sphere_x = cos.(cur_theta)
sphere_y = sin.(cur_theta)
plot()
plot!(sphere_x-7.75, sphere_y+5.5, color=1, fill=true, fillopacity=0.95, label="")
plot!(sphere_x-8.75, sphere_y+4.5, color=2, fill=true, fillopacity=0.95, label="")
plot!(sphere_x-7.5, sphere_y+4, color=1, fill=true, fillopacity=0.95, label="")
plot!(ann=[(-4.5,6,"Tritium")])
plot!(sphere_x-6.5, sphere_y-4.25, color=1, fill=true, fillopacity=0.95, label="")
plot!(sphere_x-8, sphere_y-5, color=2, fill=true, fillopacity=0.95, label="")
plot!(aspectratio=:equal)
plot!(ann=[(-9.75,-2.25,"Deuterium")])
plot!([-4.75, -3], [2.75, 1], color=3, label="")
plot!([-4.75, -3], [-2.75, -1], color=3, label="")
plot!([-3, -3.5, -3, -3], [1, 1, 1.5, 1], fill=true, color=3, label="")
plot!([-3, -3.5, -3, -3], [-1, -1, -1.5, -1], fill=true, color=3, label="")
plot!([3, 4.75], [1, 2.75], color=3, label="")
plot!([3, 4.75], [-1, -2.75], color=3, label="")
plot!([4.75, 4.25, 4.75, 4.75], [2.75, 2.75, 2.25, 2.75], fill=true, color=3, label="")
plot!([4.75, 4.25, 4.75, 4.75], [-2.75, -2.75, -2.25, -2.75], fill=true, color=3, label="")
plot!(ann=[(0,0,"+17.6 MeV")])
plot!([-3, +3, +3, -3, -3], [1,1,-1,-1,1], fill=true, color=3, fillopacity=0.2, label="")
plot!(sphere_x+6.75, sphere_y+4, color=1, fill=true, fillopacity=0.95, label="")
plot!(sphere_x+6.75, sphere_y-5, color=1, fill=true, fillopacity=0.95, label="")

plot!(sphere_x+7.25, sphere_y-3.75, color=2, fill=true, fillopacity=0.95, label="")
plot!(sphere_x+8.5, sphere_y-4.5, color=1, fill=true, fillopacity=0.95, label="")
plot!(ann=[(10,-2.25,"Helium")])
xlims!(-12,12)
ylims!(-8,8)
scatter!([100],[100],color=1,label="Neutron")
scatter!([100],[100],color=2,label="Proton")
plot!(grid=false, ticks=false)
title!("The Nuclear Fusion Reaction")
xlabel!(L"x")
ylabel!(L"y")

Not sure this helps, but if you know how to do it in LaTeX you can probably make it work in
In case there is a feature missing (for passing on the relevant LaTeX code), please open an issue.
