-%% PGFPlots settings
-%% -----------------
-%%
-%% PGFPLOTS is a package in (La)TeX for making plots internally. It fits
-%% nicely with the purpose of a reproduction pipeline. But it isn't
-%% mandatory. Therefore if you don't need it, just comment/delete the line
-%% that includes this file in the top LaTeX source (`paper.tex').
-%%
-%% However, TiKZ and PGFPlots are the recommended way to include figures
-%% and plots in your paper. There are two main reasons: 1) it follows the
-%% same LaTeX settings as the text of the paper, so the figures will be in
-%% the exact same settings (for example font or lines) as the main body of
-%% the papers. 2) It doesn't require any extra dependency (it is
-%% distributed as part of TeX-live). Adding specific programs/libraries for
-%% plots can greatly increase the number of dependencies for the
-%% pipeline. For example Python's Matplotlib library is indeed very good,
-%% but it requires Python and Numpy. The latter is not easy to build from
-%% source, so after a few years, installing the required version can be
-%% very frustrating.
-%%
-%% Keeping all BibLaTeX settings in a separate preamble was done in the
-%% spirit of modularity to 1) easily managable, 2) If a similar BibLaTeX
-%% configuration is necessary in another LaTeX compilation, this file can
-%% just be copied there and used.
-%%
-%% PGFPlots uses the (La)TeX TiKZ package to build plots. So we will first
-%% do the settings that are necessary in TiKZ, and then go onto the actual
-%% PGFPlots package.
-%%
-%% USAGE:
-%%
-%% - All plots are made within a `tikz' directory (that must already be
-%% present in the location LaTeX is run).
-%%
-%% - Use `\includetikz{XXXX}' to make/use the figure. If a `makepdf' LaTeX
-%% macro is not defined, then it will simply assume a `XXXX.pdf' file
-%% exists in the `\bdir/tex/build/tikz' directory and simply import
-%% it. If `makepdf' is defined, then TiKZ/PGFPlot will be called to
-%% (possibly) build the plot based on `tex/XXXX.tex'. Note that if the
-%% contents of `tex/XXXX.tex' hasn't changed since the las
-%% build. TiKZ/PGFPlots won't rebuild the plot.
-
-
-
-
-
-%% Very general TiKZ settings. In particular, to allow faster processing
-%% (not having to re-build the plots on every run), we are using the
-%% externalization feature of TiKZ. With this option, TiKZ will build every
-%% figure independently in a special directory afterwards it will include
-%% the built figure in the final file. This has many advantages: 1) if the
-%% code for the plot hasn't changed, then the plot won't be re-made (can be
-%% slow with detailed plots). 2) You can use the PDFs of the individual
-%% plots for other purposes (for example to include in slides) cleanly.

-
-
-%% The following rule will cause the name of the files keeping a figure's
-%% external PDF to be set based on the file that the TiKZ commands are
-%% from. Without this, TiKZ will use numbers based on the order of
-%% figures. These numbers can be hard to manage and they will also depend
-%% on order in the final PDF, so it will be very buggy to manage them.
