Summary

In this chapter, we have learned about the multiple plotting libraries available in the Julia ecosystem, and we paid particular attention to the Plots and Makie libraries. We have learned how those libraries allow us to create a single plot that you can later render using different backends. This versatility is a powerful feature of Plots and Makie, and you will be able to make the most out of it. Finally, we have introduced how to make some simple plots using Makie. Throughout this book, we will learn more in depth about Plots and Makie and other libraries we have seen in this chapter, such as Gadfly and VegaLite.

In the next chapter, we will learn about the interactivity offered by some of the packages we have explored in this one. Furthermore, we will learn the multiple tools that Julia offers to create interactive visualizations and how to take advantage of those tools using Plots and Makie.
