Well, for scientists wanting to publish, GGplot it's quite unpractical. Most of the time we have to publish in B&W magazines and GGPlot simply lacks the capabilities to do so properly (por instance B&W filling patterns).

Matplotlib with some good definitions ends up providing much better results and nicer looking plots fro B&W unlike what people normally think.



... and I remembered why I don't use ggplot at all, thanks. After lots and lots of plots done with R, I was starting to feel a bit weird reading the comments.
