Depending on your work, you might find it helpful to customize different visual aspects of your plots and figures. For example, you might need to increase the number of axis ticks to make a plot more readable, to inform units in the axis labels, or choose color-blind friendly colors. Plots
and Makie are very flexible plotting libraries, allowing you to control that and many more aspects of your figures. These libraries achieve that thanks to a large set of plotting attributes, some of which we will explore in this chapter. Moreover, we will learn to explore the available plotting attributes from our Julia session.
In this chapter, we will learn how to customize text elements, axes, legends, and colors using Plots
and Makie, focusing on the former. What’s more, we will explore other packages to help us add LaTeX equations to our figures and change color palettes.
In this chapter, we’re going...
