Does it support accessibility and colorblind-friendly palettes?

Yes, it prioritizes the use of perceptually uniform colormaps like viridis and cividis, and provides tips for adding hatching and high-contrast labels.

Can this skill create 3D plots?

Yes, it includes specific guidance for using the mplot3d toolkit to create surface plots, 3D scatters, and wireframe visualizations.

Can I export plots suitable for academic journals?

Absolutely. The skill provides workflows for exporting to high-resolution vector formats like PDF and SVG, ensuring figures remain sharp at any scale.

Which Matplotlib interface does this skill recommend?

While it supports both, it strongly recommends the Object-Oriented (OO) interface for production code due to its explicit control and better maintainability.
