@BeastyBlacksmith Thanks for reviewing. Most of the suggestions have been incorporated. |
This PR rewrites large parts of tutorial.md which I thought were not explained well enough or did not use enough examples. The motivation is that most new users of Julia will inevitably want to plot something, so the explanations should be geared towards beginner programmers, i.e. as elementary as possible, so the symbol syntax
:
and macro@.
were mentioned. Sections on saving figures and logarithmic axes were added.Most important for me was giving plenty of examples for common attributes, as well as plotting sensible functions instead of random data. The backends section was pushed further down as I felt that the discussion on scatter plots should be given greater importance for beginners.
Fix #132.
