Planned Features

• Plot Formats
  • Pie Plot
  • Polar Plot
  • Density Plot
  • Surface Plot
  • Image Plot
• Point Plots
  • polygons for line plot connections
  • Tukey-style box plot symbols
  • point plot fill, fill underneath line
• Bar Plots
  • broken bars in graphs
  • bar clipping
  • helper function for various bar plot layouts: side-by-side, overlapping, stacked, etc.
• Graph Stationery: no standard stationery files yet, just the built-in defaults
• Overlays: no built-in overlays, must be constructed manually
  • data and view coordinate placement
  • arrows
  • legend
• Tickmarks
  • turn off labels at certain axis instances
  • enable tickmark-generating functions (positions -- labels already done)
  • text style for tickmark labels
  • offsets, starting somewhere other than origin
  • check for too many tickmarks for specified range
  • tickmarks not in both other instances of an axis
• Various
  • z-sorting
  • polygon primitives?
  • broken axes
  • omitted data specified as a list or function
  • control over what parts of the frame are drawn, and in what style
    • maybe use an inside-out box primitive?
      • but then, we might have to submit & sort the sides separately! :(
      • or can we just sort on the furthest corner?
• Interactive construction
