High quality graphics for Latex documents: The Matlab route

Good thing is that you don't even need a Makefile. If you use latexmk it can automatically run gnuplot [1]. It's very useful if you are in "continuous-preview" mode (aka automatic builds when you change the source of the document).

org-mode is also worth looking into. You can execute code fragments and embed the results using Babel[1]. Makes it simple to use the output of e.g. gnuplot or matplotlib.

I am relatively new to org-mode (via Spacemacs). But I really like it, you can use it as a quick notebook to jot down things, run code, and export the result as PDF per LaTeX.

You don't even need that, if you allow shell-escapes you can run gnuplot directly from your latex call.

I was aware of latexmk, but I didn't know it can run gnuplot too. That's great! Thanks!
