Hey Amuthan, Are you exporting as PDF? I had some weird issues where the resolution of printed PDFs from PyPlot.jl would have low resolution, but it would look fine on the screen. I solved it by just exporting EPS and then including that in LaTeX. Not sure if this was a PyPlot.jl issue per se,

Hi Amuthan, This might be because PyPlot in Julia uses a different graphics backend than when you call Matplotlib directly in Python. Working from Python, the default option is osx' native Cocoa framework (which supports retina displays), while PyPlot in Julia uses QT or Gtk. As far as I know i
