Version Compatibility

Reference examples tested with: ggplot2 3.5+, matplotlib 3.8+

Before using code patterns, verify installed versions match. If versions differ:

• Python: pip show <package> then help(module.function) to check signatures
• R: packageVersion('<pkg>') then ?function_name to verify parameters

If code throws ImportError, AttributeError, or TypeError, introspect the installed package and adapt the example to match the actual API rather than retrying.

Multi-Panel Figure Assembly

"Combine multiple plots into one figure" → Arrange subplots into a publication-ready multi-panel layout with shared legends and consistent sizing.

• R: patchwork::wrap_plots(), cowplot::plot_grid()
• Python: matplotlib.pyplot.subplots(), fig.add_subplot()
