And the font family, and the color.

The advantage that I see with TikZ is that the font is *exactly* the
font used in the surrounding text, no matter the scaling of the axes.
A major reason for me to use TikZ was actually that I can rescale my
figures later, without having to regenerate the plots anew, tinkering
with font sizes to make them ~sort of~ match. (Also, one can use LaTeX
colors in the plots, e.g. (as in my case), corporate colors as defined
in the presentation template.)

Cheers,
Nico
