Help functions

help

AbstractPlotting.helpFunction
help(func[; extended = false])

Welcome to the main help function of Makie.jl / AbstractPlotting.jl.

For help on a specific function's arguments, type help_arguments(function_name).

For help on a specific function's attributes, type help_attributes(plot_Type).

Use the optional extended = true keyword argument to see more details.

Example usage:

help(scatter; extended = true)
scatter(positions)
scatter(x, y)
scatter(x, y, z)

Plots a marker for each element in (x, y, z), (x, y), or positions.
