As a physics major I am by no means good at coding but it suffices for modeling stuff. Plotting always ends up a beeing super annoying. It´s easy enough to look up stuff in the the Julia documentation if needed. With plotting it´s a totally different story. There is just no good ressources to learn handling the available plotting packages.

I´m lost. There is proper documentation for PyPlot for example but only for Python and the code won´t work in Julia. Then there a few examples that obivously do not answer all my questions. Am I missing something? I feel stupid but also know that everyone around me spends to much time on plotting, too.

Any advice on were to look up stuff?

thanks in advance

  • This post will likely be deleted since it’s asking for software suggestions which is against the code of conduct. Take a look at the Plots.jl or Makie.jl documentation. If something is not clear, raise and issue and ping me on GitHub and I will do my best to address it. – logankilpatrick Sep 30 '19 at 13:07

  • If you edit this post to describe what you are actually trying to do with plots, maybe someone will be able to help! – logankilpatrick Sep 30 '19 at 13:14

    @logankilpatrick I don't think the question is asking for recommendations of individual packages. It's a fair question that many new users struggle with. – Michael K. Borregaard Sep 30 '19 at 13:33

Plotting in Julia is provided by packages. So you will not find plotting docs in the main documentation for julia.

There are a number of plotting packages to choose between - it's just a question of picking the one you prefer. Here is the documentation for most of the more used packages:

For PyPlot the matplotlib syntax should work. It's not clear from your question why it doesn't for you. So there should be ample resources.
