Welcome to Makie!
Makie is a high-performance, extendable, and multi-platform plotting ecosystem for the Julia programming language.
Installation and Import
Add one or more of the Makie backend packages GLMakie.jl (OpenGL), CairoMakie.jl (Cairo), or WGLMakie.jl (WebGL).
]add GLMakie
using GLMakieIf you want to switch to a different backend in a running session, call that backend's activate! function.
]add CairoMakie
using CairoMakie
# if, for example, GLMakie is activated already
CairoMakie.activate!()First Steps
- Learn the basics of plotting with Makie in the Basic Tutorial
- Check out how to make more complex plots and layouts in the Layout Tutorial
- See example plots in the Gallery.
These docs were autogenerated using:
- AbstractPlotting: v0.15.9
- GLMakie: v0.1.25
- CairoMakie: v0.3.12
If you encounter errors with the code examples, check first that your installed versions are appropriate.
Makie Ecosystem
| Package | Description |
|---|---|
AbstractPlotting.jl | Defines all infrastructure objects which can be visualized using one of the three backend packages. |
GLMakie.jl | Default Makie backend. GPU-powered, interactive 2D and 3D plotting in standalone GLFW.jl windows. |
CairoMakie.jl | Cairo.jl based, non-interactive 2D backend for publication-quality vector graphics. |
WGLMakie.jl | WebGL-based interactive 2D and 3D plotting that runs within browsers. |
Extension Packages
| Package | Description |
|---|---|
AlgebraOfGraphics.jl | Grammar-of-graphics style plotting, inspired by ggplot2. |
GeoMakie.jl | Geographic plotting utilities. |
