Add a CUSTOM_AXIS_OPTIONS parameter ?

[BambOoxX]

In general, I tend to use a specific style for my figures, to reproduce the axis line styles, grid styles, figure dimensions and others.

When writing the whole code in LaTeX, I use a \pgfplotsset{every axis/.append style={...}} to do that. I tried doing something similar in julia with push!(PGFPlotsX.CUSTOM_PREAMBLE,raw"\pgfplotsset{every axis/.append style={width = 7cm, height = 4cm, scale only axis}}") without success.

I am wondering if it is because such calls are misinterpreted by julia or if we should add a specific way of doing this with a new parameter list such as CUSTOM_AXIS_OPTIONS ?

Please provide a self-contained MWE.

This is a MWE based on Plots with PGFPlotsX as a backend. If you think using PGFplotX directly should make a difference, I will try and make a specific MWE.

using Plots
pgfplotsx()
# reference plot
plt1 = plot(rand(10)) #<-- gives 1st picture
savefig(plt1,"1.png")
# plot with modified fonts
push!(PGFPlotsX.CUSTOM_PREAMBLE,raw"\usepackage{newtxtext,newtxmath}")
plt2 = plot(rand(10)) # <-- gives 2nd picture (font is correctly changed)
savefig(plt2,"2.png")

# plot with custom dimensions
push!(PGFPlotsX.CUSTOM_PREAMBLE,raw"\pgfplotsset{every axis/.append style={width = 7cm, height = 4cm, scale only axis}}")
plt3 = plot(rand(10)) #<-- gives 3rd picture (but output size is incorrect)
savefig(plt3,"3.png")

Picture 1

Picture 2

Picture 3

Works fine for me with PGFPlotsX directly:

julia> using PGFPlotsX

julia> push!(PGFPlotsX.CUSTOM_PREAMBLE,raw"\usepackage{newtxtext,newtxmath}")
1-element Vector{String}:
 "\\usepackage{newtxtext,newtxmath}"

julia> p = Plot(Table(1:10, rand(10)))

julia> mktemp() do path, io
       path *= ".tex"
       pgfsave(path, p)
       print(read(path, String))
       end

Indeed, once again, this seems to be due to Plots rather than PGFPlotsX thanks for the help.
