Similar sentiments here. I get slightly further with ggplot2 but still end up fixing stuff manually in Illustrator which adds significant time. Anyone know 1) a more customizable plotting library or 2) a way to apply manual changes to new input pdfs? Biggest sticking points for me are overlapping labels and compositing multiple figures
- Fomite 10y agoBuying a copy of Illustrator was pretty much the best thing that ever happened to my plotting.
- gcatalfamo 10y agoHow did illustrator help you?
- Fomite 10y agoThe amount of basic formatting, changes, etc. that are trivial in a proper vector graphics editor but hard to cajole ggplot2, matplotlib or R's base graphics are...extensive.
- IndianAstronaut 10y agoI find google charts a nice balance between ease of use and good looking charts.
- _Wintermute 10y agoI find matplotlib far more flexible than ggplot. Which means 9 times out of 10 I can make the graph in about 5 lines of ggplot, and the more unusual takes about 50 lines of matplotlib. Have you tried D3 for static plots? It looks very verbose, but offers a lot of fine control.
