(Desktop, high performance, 100% features) <strong>default</strong></li><li><code>WGLMakie</code> (Web, fast drawing, 80% features) <strong>web</strong></li><li><code>CairoMakie</code> (Print, SVG/PDF, 70% features) <strong>2D-only</strong> (for now)</li></ul><p>You can activate any backend by <code>using</code> the appropriate package and calling it's <code>activate!</code> function; to activate WGLMakie, you would do s<code>using WGLMakie; WGLMakie.activate!()</code>.</p><h2 id="[GLMakie](https://github.com/JuliaPlots/GLMakie.jl)"><a class="docs-heading-anchor"
