Packages that put latex fonts in graphs?

Post by jforberg »

Hi all,

My calculus book is typeset completely in Latex. It includes several graphs, which are labelled with the computer modern fonts. Those labels are also precisely the correct size, so that they fit in wonderfully with the surrounding text. I've worked some with Matlab and Gnuplot with graphs, but so far I've not found any good way to achieve this.

Do you have any ideas? Are there any particular packages which make this easier, in your opinion?

Thanks,
Johan Förberg

If I understand you right, you are searching for packages like pgfplots (based on pgf/tikZ) or pst-plot (based on pstricks).


Best regards and welcome to the board

Yes, Pgfplot seems to be exactly what I was looking for!

Thank you, this was very helpful.

Now that the problem seems to be solved, please act as you have already been directed in my last reply. Please keep that in mind for the future so that further reminders will not be necessary.
