Plots.jl is a Julia metapackage providing a unified, high-level interface for creating visualizations across multiple plotting backends. It is part of a monorepo that also hosts RecipesBase, RecipesPipeline, PlotsBase, GraphRecipes, and StatsPlots.

Use cases

• plot data in julia
• create line and scatter plots
• visualize statistical distributions
• make heatmaps and contour plots
• switch plotting backends without changing code
• plot graphs and networks
• create publication-quality figures

When to choose

• you are working in Julia and need a single consistent plotting API
• you want to swap between backends like GR, Plotly, or PyPlot easily
• you need statistical or graph plotting recipes

When to avoid

• you need a plotting library in another language
• you require fine-grained control over a specific backend's native features
• you need a license-guaranteed dependency since no license is specified
