Reproducing the rendering style of functions.wolfram.com plots

Posted 2 days ago

Hi everyone,

This may be a bit of a niche request, but I'm fascinated by the visual style of the plots on functions.wolfram.com, particularly in how they render mathematical functions.

What I love about them is that they have a clear, aliased look (almost retro, lol) with: - Crisp edges and visible pixelation

  • No (or minimal) antialiasing on curves and fonts

  • Clean axes with or without frames

  • Simple, sharp legends using rainbow-colored lines

  • Classic sans-serif fonts (looks like Helvetica or something similar)

Here’s an example of what I’m referring to:

functions.wolfram.com Plot Example

What I've tried so far

I've experimented with:

Adjusting FontFamily and TicksStyle to mimic the labels

Using Rasterize[plot, ImageResolution -> low], but this introduces unwanted blurring, even at low resolution X.

Tweaking PlotPoints and PerformanceGoal -> "Speed" to reduce smoothing, bit blurry.

Exporting to high-res and then using ImageResize[..., Resampling -> "Nearest"] this gives me closer to the aliased look, but feels a bit hacky...

Thanks in advance for any ideas!

This may be a start:

Plot[Evaluate@Table[Re[ArcTan[x, y]], {y, -3, 3}], {x, -3, 3}, 
 PlotRange -> {-3, 3}, Frame -> True, 
 BaseStyle -> {FontFamily -> "Helvetica", FontSlant -> Italic, 
   FontSize -> 20}, 
 PlotStyle -> Table[ColorData["Rainbow"][c], {c, Subdivide[6]}]]
