Can I use this for 3D plotting?

Yes, the skill provides specific guidance on using mplot3d for surface plots, 3D scatter plots, and wireframes.

How does it handle accessibility and colorblindness?

It emphasizes the use of perceptually uniform and colorblind-friendly colormaps like viridis, ensuring your visualizations are accessible to all readers.

Can this skill help me create publication-ready figures?

Yes, it includes best practices for high-resolution exports (300 DPI) and vector formats like PDF and SVG, along with styling guides tailored for academic journals.

Does it support the object-oriented API?

Absolutely. The skill prioritizes the explicit object-oriented interface (Figure/Axes) over the implicit pyplot state machine for better code maintainability and control.
