How to Export Figures
- before saving the graphics in the respective programs
- check colour maps (see https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-020-19160-7 or https://matplotlib.org/stable/tutorials/colors/colormaps.html)
- check font size and type
- preferably use vector graphics such as svg, pdf or eps
- avoid bitmap graphics if possible and especially jpg!
- For Latex
- recommended approach: save as pdf, use pdfcrop
- epstopdf - usually installed with latex
- pdfcrop - usually installed with latex
- for direct inclusion in Latex use the scripts linked above to create PGF/TikZ files
