For example, in astronomy, a lot of people will 'publish' their paper to Arxiv before it is accepted into a journal. Arxiv is accessible by the general public and a little digging around will reveal that you can download the actual Latex source for the paper. This includes all of the figures. I

The problem is with many journals the content (including figures) is copyright by the journal, not the author. But I imagine most journals would grant permission, it's just an additional step that should be taken where required. The circos layout looks nice! - Floris On Fri, Oct 5, 2012 at 10:

The idea of pulling key (and sexy) figures from papers is an awesome idea. I know when I am trying to make figures, I often search around looking at the different styles that people use to present similar data. There is also something different about publication level plots than the simple exam

That citation should be *much* more prominent on the matplotlib homepage. I regret to say that I was unaware of that paper I should have cited in my last paper which made heavy use of matplotlib generated plots with lots of customizations. Next time I'll be sure to include the proper citation! I t
