Publication-Quality MATLAB Figures

`matlab-plot-skill` is a reusable skill for Codex and Claude Code that fixes messy MATLAB figures: cramped layouts, unreadable titles, awkward legends, bad white space, and weak PDF output for LaTeX or Overleaf.

The key rule is simple: the agent must not stop after writing plotting code. It must generate the figure, export it, read the rendered figure itself, and iterate until the visual result is no longer a mess.

Find This Repo If You Searched For

  • how to make MATLAB figures look professional
  • publication-quality MATLAB plots
  • fix messy subplot layout in MATLAB
  • export MATLAB figure to PDF for LaTeX
  • MATLAB figures for Overleaf
  • improve MATLAB legend, title, spacing, and white space

What Problem This Solves

  • multi-panel MATLAB figures that look cramped or amateurish
  • legends that steal too much plot area
  • titles that are too long or too small after PDF scaling
  • inconsistent colors and symbols across panels
  • plots that look acceptable in MATLAB but bad once embedded in a paper

What This Skill Enforces

  • MATLAB-first figure cleanup for papers, appendices, and slides
  • vector PDF export for LaTeX and Overleaf workflows
  • better layout choices for multi-panel figures
  • explicit render-review-iterate behavior
  • reusable MATLAB export helper code
  • a quick PNG review path so the agent can read the rendered figure easily
