Creating Quality Plots For Publication: Python, Overleaf, PowerPoint

In this two-part tutorial series, I will be showing you my personal workflow for creating publication-quality plots using a combination of Inkscape, Python, PowerPoint, and Overleaf. In this second part, I will go through the specifics of creating plots using Matplotlib/Python and how to attach them to an Overleaf document.

In this video, I will show you how I use Matplotlib/Python to plot a data file, control the details of the plot, and set default plotting parameters using a Python script called Pyblish. Then, I will walk you through minor editing of the plots using PowerPoint, including adding LaTeX rendered equations to your plots using IguanaTex. Finally, I will demonstrate how I attach two images to an Overleaf document, one schematic from Inkscape ( covered in Part 1) and the other plot from Python.
