Get started with LaTeX using Overleaf: ► www.overleaf.com/?.... My thanks to Overleaf for sponsoring today's video.
Check out the previous videos in my LaTeX playlist:
► • LaTeX Tutorials
I make most of my graph and plots inside of LaTeX using a package called pgfplots. LaTeX is a type setting language and I like using it for graphs specifically because I can control all aspects of my graphs very precisely, with formatting native and easily adjustable with the rest of my document, with syntax similar to the syntax of the rest of LaTeX that I use all the time, and best of all it is free and will remain readily available. In this video we will see how to do 2D graphs, scatter plots, bar charts, 3D surface plots and 3D line plots, as well as how to format all aspects of our plots and axes.

Very good video. I am a double degree student in math and comp sci, and LaTeX is one of those things that you both remember but never entirely. Having a whole video with dedicated examples is a good reference for anyone who cannot quite recall how to do individual tasks. This is a better resource than the online forums recommending (and I do not joke) 20+ year old advice, which may now me deprecated.

It was a nice surprise to see that many of the commands are quite similar to MATLAB’s or Matplotlib’s plotting and formatting environment commands

@fgp1979 2 года назад

Other way around I believe: the commands in Matlab and matplotlib are similar to latex's!

@youerny 2 года назад

The root of those API are from Matlab, but they are so simple and widely used that introduces something totally different would just consume precious time to learn again. Still, as a new user of Python and all the most widely adopted libraries, I must confess that the “anatomy of a figure” in matplotlib is still a bit confusing when compared to Matlab’s. I spent many years before switching, but still not everything is straightforward to me. And mixing NP or PD with matplotlib is nice, but introduces some peculiarities for each data substrate that could be made more uniform. I am referring to syntax for a plot, vs a plot from a dataframe, vs a plot from a np.math array. Small differences are disorienting and matlab is more straightforward. But it is free, as a beer in a drunk speech, therefore thanks to the community for sharing it all with us

@bastianfrom77 8 месяцев назад

In the "old days" I used gnuplot which produces either eps, png or latex-code. It is actually a old, (then) convinient tool. One of the main points for me was, that the plots have a common style and not look too different. Another important feature was, that als the labels in the graph have exactly the same font and adapted fontsize as found in the text. I like this package you presented here and I think I will try it

@haraldurkarlsson1147 2 года назад

Nice presentation and I agree you cannot simply watch this stuff. You have to do it yourself in order to learn it. LaTeX does have steep learning curve but the habits you develop when working with it will help when working with other programs. Fortunately, the PGFPLOTS manual is excellent with great examples and explanations. Finally, it is simplest to set compat=newest inside the pgfplotsset (in the preamble) and not worry about the version you are using. I would like to see more on working with external data - for instance csv files. Thanks.

@SourabhBhat 2 года назад

I generally use matplotlib (Python library) with TeX fonts for plotting and export as pdf or eps for later adding to my LaTeX document. Even though it produces very high quality plots, I have to manually adjust the font size (using trial & error) to match the document font size. Pgfplots seems wonderful to get the best of both worlds, especially with the external data file option. Thank you !

@FranseFrikandel 8 месяцев назад

I believe if you just set the figure size correctly in matplotlib, and then don't add any width settings or similar to your includefigure in LaTeX, the font sizes should translate correctly.

11:58 the way I consider the anchors is that I place a bounding box around the label, then the point on that bound box that sits on the axis is the (in this case) the south west corner of the bounding box

As an older person, when I went back to take some college for an additional degree (~2010), I struggled with coming up with graphing tools like this. I wish I had found your material then but it may not have existed, I don't know. I ended up kluging some stuff together with Excel and what-not. (first round of school, we typed papers on typewriter and left large blanks, where we would hand-write formula/ symbols. lol) Love your videos, even if I don't have a big use for them now (retired). Some folks might not appreciate how nice these tools are. (okay, I'm being curmudgeonly, "kids don't know how good they have it, we had to walk... uphill both ways... ", "You had ones and zeros? We programmed with only ones!" lol)

I use Matlab to plot and then adjust its formating and styles etc using its plot editing tool. Then save it as .eps file and load into latex. Crisp looking graphs but as you said, symbols and fonts are not same as latex maths. But as long as it is consistent for all plots, it's ok.

I truly respect you for the effort of learning PS (!!) in 202x. Please make you a favor and go some steps upwards: ps is to docs as assembly is to programming. You can do it, but it almost always not needed today. One more layer of indirection could be useful, automating LaTeX generation by means of python and running it from data at compile time -if needed-.

@whydoyouaskdude 2 года назад

Nice video. You don't need to specify color=red, just [red] will do the same. Also, did you know a node can contain literally anything? Even includegraphics commands to position images with nodes or even entire tikzpicture environments to reuse and easily move entire already made TikZ graphics. The possibilities are endless.

@youerny 2 года назад

Many packages available, but after several docs I definitely opted for matplotlib+pdf despite coding the plots in the doc src. As far as I know I just opted for a control flow design package because the quality of the feedback control loops were astonishing. LaTeX should be mandatory, but try to look for the best compromise among orthodox approach and throughput (how long it takes to complete this chapter, one week or three?). :)

@youerny 2 года назад

@gautha pandith every task, its tool. I totally agree with you. On the other hand we should consider with huge humility that the author of TeX is a genius, and definitely not someone prone to adopt efficient trade-offs like both of us. The effort to write such an intricate piece of SW, after having studied editor graphics and Fonts deeply, in order to write the most wide and beautiful books (encyclopedia today…?) about Computer Science, just because his publisher changed the font for his books with something he disliked, is not exactly the average scientist aiming at publishing to avoid death :). Jokes aside, thank you with all my gratitude, Dr Knuth and Dr. Lamport, for making the world a better place with your creations (La)TeX!

I'd love to see a video on using LaTeX to create graphs for solutions of inhomogeneous diffusion- / wave- equation BVPs (especially ones who's spatial operators are not self-adjoint - requiring to be put into Sturm-Liouville form) [Edit 1: I think it would be helpful to know how to do this here in LaTeX versus using secondary software like MATLAB, Python, Wolfram, or Geogebra, especially for lecture documentation purposes when trying to compare what would happen with different ICs and variations of dirichlet/neumann/robin BCs. By the way, love your videos, Dr. Bazett - keep up the terrific work!] [Edit 2: Ahh shoot - I had too much hope! It's such a powerful tool that sometimes I forget it's not an IDE 😅]

@DrTrefor 2 года назад

So LaTeX doesn't "know" any math, it doesn't know how to solve a differential equation for instance. So that part I have to leave to you, but once you have a function or a vector field or whatever else, then LaTeX can be used to plot it.

@davidgillies620 2 года назад

A big advantage of LaTeX is that it is programmatically generable in a way that, say, MS Word documents are not (you can script Word using Visual Studio, but you probably shouldn't). For stereotyped report creation, for example, it's a very lightweight technique. I primarily use Mathematica to generate plots for inclusion in LaTeX documents because I have even more control over the output , as well as three decades' experience using the software. Lately I've been using R quite a bit.

Hey, I have been using tikz and pgfplot for a while now, but there is always something new to learn from your videos. Awesome! Using tikz for my plots is just so much better. No more pain with different fonts, fontsize etc. when including plots from other programs. Something worth mentioning is the externalize library, which helps with the long compilation times, especially when you are including experimental data or you just have a lot of figures , in overleaf you can get a compilation timeout really quick. One question of topic: I watched your video where you presented your own thesis and I really liked the font you were using. Do you remember which one it was and how to use it?
