Build publication-quality figures with matplotlib using the object-oriented Figure/Axes API, constrained_layout, rcParams customization, TrueType (Type-42) font embedding for journal submission, and CVD-safe palettes. Covers seaborn integration, common chart types, axis formatting, and the small gotchas that distinguish reproducible matplotlib from notebook scratch. Use when producing publication figures in Python — RNA-seq scatter, single-cell embeddings, generic biological plotting.
