Publication-Quality Matplotlib Figure

Checklist

Prepare a clean figure for print or a report.

The Open buttons send the prompt text as currently shown below to that site only when you click. Fill in the placeholders first.

Help me make a publication-quality figure. The data and the message of the chart: [DATA_MESSAGE]. Output (print column width, slide, web): [OUTPUT]. Style constraints (journal or brand guidelines): [STYLE].

Provide code with explicit figure size and resolution, fonts, axis labels with units, tick formatting, direct labels instead of legends where possible, colour choices that work in greyscale, and annotation of the key point. Save as vector and raster formats. Include a checklist for reviewing the figure at final size, a list of common problems (overlapping labels, truncated axes, unreadable fonts) with fixes, and notes on alt text. Use only standard plotting functions and mention the version assumed.

Add a short section on reproducibility of the figure: store the plotting script and the data version together, set a style file, and export from the same code each time. Include an alt-text and caption draft of about 60 words for my chart, and a final check at the final printed or displayed size.
