Support Plotting about continuumarrays.jl HOT 10 CLOSED

Actually meant:

👍 AbstractPlotting.jl (to support Makie.jl)
🎉 RecipesBase.jl (to support Plots.jl)
🚀 Both

Requires.jl might be a good solution.

from continuumarrays.jl.

Or... since the only packages that will use 3D are downstream (HarmonicOrthogonalPolynomials.jl and MultivariateOrthogonalPolynomials.jl) just put the dependency there

from continuumarrays.jl.

OK we can use Plots.jl with the plotly() backend: the following gives a plot on a disk:

julia> plotly()
Plots.PlotlyBackend()

julia> r = range(0,1;length=100);

julia> x = r' .* cospi.(2r);

julia> y = r' .* sinpi.(2r);

julia> surface(x, y, exp.(x .+ cos.(y)))

Let's do this now.

(5 years ago I used to do live demos with Makie.jl of PDEs on a disk... annoying that the situation has seemed to have gone backwards...)

from continuumarrays.jl.

OK this now works:

using MultivariateOrthogonalPolynomials, Plots
plotly()
Z = Zernike()
xy = axes(Z,1)
x,y = first.(xy),last.(xy)
u = Z * (Z \ @.(cos(10x*y)))
surface(u)

from continuumarrays.jl.

I actually use neither, I use PyPlot.jl instead; as long as its not a required dependency, i.e. plotting is supported via Requires.jl, I'm fine with either. The other option is of course RecipesBase.jl, for which there seems to be no Makie equivalent yet.

from continuumarrays.jl.

RecipesBase.jl is lightweight, AbstractPlotting.jl not so much, so I would vote for Requires.jl 👀

from continuumarrays.jl.

I feel like in most of the basic uses it's already fairly straightforward to make Plots.jl do the job. For higher dimensional more complicated domains where this would be a pain to manually set up, Makie is probably superior. So I somewhat hesitantly vote AbstractPlotting / Makie. Hesitantly because it lacks a lot of convenience features, e.g. exporting as vector graphics is as far as I know still not supported.

RecipesBase.jl is lightweight, AbstractPlotting.jl not so much

Yes I agree... I find the existing of two different recipe formats pretty annoying...

Perhaps best to just make a new package ContinuumArraysAbstractPlotting.jl which is loaded manually for the time being... my understanding of Requires.jl is it is then easy to to have this loaded automatically.

from continuumarrays.jl.

Annoyingly, Makie.jl (via WGLMakie.jl) doesn't seem to be very reliable in VSCode, and is very slow...

And regular Makie.jl + InfiniteArrays.jl triggers an obscure Julia type inference bug MakieOrg/Makie.jl#933

from continuumarrays.jl.

Yeah WGLMakie even seems to state that it doesn't support VSCode yet on the documentation. Out of curiosity, is there a reason not to go for GLMakie? Well, I didn't see you already addressed that! GLMakie is the only backend that ever really worked for me, so if that's leading to serious bugs I don't think the other backends will be the solution.
