Export & LaTeX figures

Every plot exports through one pipeline, split by how the pixels are produced:

• PNG / JPEG — raster, rendered off-screen at the panel's real layout size, then up-scaled (×1–×4 device-pixel scale) for pixel-perfect output. JPEG carries a quality knob.
• PDF — a rasterized page or a true infinitely-scalable vector PDF, with a DPI knob.
• SVG — real vector graphics: lines, curves, axes, and text as scalable paths.
• TikZ / LaTeX (.tex) — a bare tikzpicture snippet or a compilable standalone document.

Vector formats (SVG / TikZ / vector-PDF) are serialized from a backend-neutral scene — one geometric description of the plot that each encoder renders independently. That's why SVG, TikZ, and vector-PDF stay consistent, and why new vector targets are cheap to add.

A TikZ figure drops straight into your LaTeX manuscript and typesets in the document's own fonts — so your figure's labels match your paper's typography exactly. For example, an axis label like $\hat{H}(f)=\int h(t)e^{-2\pi ift}dt$ renders as real math, not a bitmap.

• Transparent-background export for compositing over slides and papers.
• A coordinate-precision knob keeps .svg/.tex file sizes small without visibly degrading the figure.

For a scientific tool aimed at researchers and universities, true vector + LaTeX export is the difference between figures you can publish and screenshots you have to redo.
