Listing 1
Examples of shorthands. Full list available at https://docs.juliaplots/stable/api/#Plot-specification.
Figure 1
Example plot of the iris dataset [37] to illustrate the use of different attribute types (cf. Listing 2).
Listing 2
Code corresponding to Figure 1.
Figure 2
Plotting pipeline in Plots.jl. The separation of construction and output production enables the flexible use of different backends in the same session and helps to avoid unnecessary intermediate calculation. Created using mermaid [1].
Listing 3
Examples of input preprocessing steps in Plots.jl. All these calls are equivalent.
Listing 4
Recipe signatures.
Figure 3
Showcase of composing recipes. Plotting a ODESolution object from DifferentialEquations.jl containing Measurements from Measurements.jl will apply the recipe of DifferentialEquations.jl which will return vectors of Measurements, which will apply the recipe from Measurements.jl; yielding the solutions of the Lotka-Volterra system [2] with correct error bounds without the user having to change the callsite. Neither of these packages has code in their recipes for handling types of the other package. Full code available in Listing 9.
Listing 5
Measurements.jl recipe.
Figure 4
Overview of the Plots.jl ecosystem and its interfaces with other Julia packages. The numbers of dependents are taken from juliahub [30].
Listing 6
Plots.jl code corresponding to Figure 5.
Listing 7
PyPlot.jl code roughly corresponding to using Plots; pyplot() in line 4 of Listing 6.
Listing 8
PGFPlotsX.jl code roughly corresponding to using Plots; pgfplotsx() in line 4 of Listing 6.
Figure 5
An example figure generated from the code shown in Listing 6. Listings 7 and 8 illustrate how the generated backend code could look like for different backends. The actual backend code is more verbose and likely uses more low-level functions. These listings also show how Plots.jl provides a unified API for its backend packages, since the translation between Listings 7 and 8 is not straightforward.
Figure 6
Lines of code alive of the top ten contributors of the Plots.jl repository over time. Data created with hercules [36].
Figure 7
Lines of code alive of the top ten contributors of the Plots.jl ecosystem (Figure 4) over time. Data created with hercules [36].
