 \item subplot
 \item Uebersicht zu wichtigen plot Befehlen (plot, scatter, bar, step, ...)
 \item Funktionenplotten (siehe auch Design patterns) und untersampleter Sinus
-\item Verschiedene Stile fuer Achsenbeschriftung (gross/kleinschreibungen, Kalmmertyp fuer Einheiten), stay with one style!
-\item Stay with a coherent style (font type/style/size, colors schemes, line styles/thickness, point styles) 
+\item Verschiedene Stile fuer Achsenbeschriftung (gross/kleinschreibungen, Klammertyp fuer Einheiten), stay with one style!
+\item Stay with a coherent style (font type/style/size, colors schemes, line styles/thickness, point styles), same line style in all plots for the same quantity. How to do consistent line styles in matlab (python: dictionary for kwargs)?
+\item Different plots for journal papers and presentations!
