Greetings,
I mostly use Python/MatPlotLib for my graphing charting needs for a bunch
of self-built, production-oriented things I require.
However, once in a while I need to assemble something ad-hoc, and I
generally revert to MS Excel because of fidelity and functionality.
I've tried doing the same within Gnumeric and Libreoffice, but the results
are considerably less compelling than that of MS Excel.
Would there be any recommendations on what's available w/in the Linux
world that should be evaluated in this regard?
I get this question a lot -- Windows refugees often want artifacts similar to ones
they produced using MS Excel. Well-supported graphics packages have galleries
of sample artifacts you can view online. If there are examples in publications or
web sites that you like, ask the authors how they were produced.
You may want to post in a LibreOffice forum to see if there is a way to do
something similar in LibreOffice -- if not maybe it will generate a feature request.
I often generate a basic artifact with python or R and tweak it with Inkscape
or Krita 4 where I get more direct control of details.
