in the previous thread I complained about the default plot style of Plots is not good ( Why Plots.jl produce figures looks not as good as other packages even with pyplot ) Then I received some people lecturing me about the default being good enough. But, some people said they just don’t use Plots/Py…

I think it can be quite subjective, what is a nice looking plot and what is not. Personally I want everything to look like “LaTeX”, so I do not wish to use defaults Plots etc. for publication. Does it mean it cannot be used? Of course not, again everyone has a personal preference depending on their…

Thanks for the answer. I think I should delete some of this post so people can notice the question is actually what is the difference of figure qualities between packages? ^-^

This post isn’t much different from the previous post. You’re still trying put different approaches in a rigid ranking of quality, but quality is largely subjective and depends a lot on the user’s requirements and habits. You could ask 100 people this question, get 100 different answers, and most of…

did you see this sentence? So can someone explain to me what is the difference of figure qualities between those packages?

In Julia, Plots is the default go-to package. Almost inevitably you’ll need to customize your plots for publication. In Python matplotlib is a package intended for extreme customization, so you’re not comparing like with like. If you compare Julia’s Plots with R’s default plot, you’ll see that Julia…

I posted this because no one answered the quesiton. Like you. you seem replied but didn’t answer the question itself. Do you know the question in this post and did you see this sentence? So can someone explain to me what is the difference of figure qualities between those packages?

Please try to stay courteous in your discussions. You may indeed assume that responders are literate and spent time reading through your entire post.

But you didn’t even answer the question in the title. lol You read only what you want to read. If you don’t want to spend time, why did you answer?

It isn’t clear why you are aggressively responding. What is your dog in the fight? As was already mentioned in this thread, and in many threads before this, plotting is mostly about preferences rather than functionality.

I think you give an answer at least close to what I would like to discuss. A lot of people are just telling Plots.jl can be customized, but not why the default is like this. The question of this post is so clearly titled, but some people kept avoiding it. I found someone is not courteous so I trie…
