Following Antoine's idea, find enclosed an example on how you can automate the process of improving your plots. This is obviously incomplete but it gives a general idea.

Hope it helps,

It's definetly possible to do it.
In my group, we usually:
- set decent default values for the default figure ( hd=gdf() ):
increase font size, ...
- fix the ticks madness (ie replace [0. 0.167 0.333 0.5 0.667 0.833 1.
] ticks by [0. 0.25 0.5 0.75 1.])
- use the latex rendering for all the text, including ticks labels:
- for ticks¹, just prepend & append "$" to the labels: ["0"; "0.25";
"0.5"; "0.75"; "1"]->["$0$"; "$0.25$"; "$0.5$"; "$0.75$"; "$1$"].
- for text, use "$\text{" and "}$" : "$\text{Your fancy text rendered
in Latex: \lambda^\beta}$"
- Export in a vectorial format, I prefer svg.
- Apply some cosmetic changes, add arrows, "(a)", "(b)", ... using Inkscape
- Generate a pdf version.


Hope it helps,

Antoine
¹ We have a script to clean up the ticks: it sets a decent number of
ticks, and automate the prepend/append of "$".

Hi

I'm using Python matplotlib for some graphs for scientific papers. The
reason is that the font and all seems to fit very well with the LaTeX
document.

I know that Scilab can accept MathML (or LaTeX) expressions. Is there a
simple way to configure Scilab for similar high-quality plots? ... I'd
like all text to be nice looking, i.e. the title, the x-axis and y-axis
labels, the legend, etc.

Best regards,

Claus
