New Graphics in MATLAB 2014b

Mathworks MATLAB R2014b introduced a new graphical system. The charts below compare the old plots in R2013a with the new R2014b plots sporting

  1. New Color Scheme
  2. Anti-Aliasing on the lines and fonts
  3. Aesthetically pleasing grid
  4. Default Font size and weight on title, axes labels, and ticklabels

Overall, this is a substantial improvement over the old graphical system; the new figures are tasteful and modern.
