Oh, I thought you were not going to re-implementing things that are already
done in plotting libraries.  Let us put this way: I would prefer to try to
implement the Plot Widget using a plotting library at first.  If this
happens to be a inappropriate or too constraining choice (e.g. it will
prevent us of doing satanic Handle Graphics emulation), we may try to
implement our own plotting library.  If that happens, I will not be able to
contribute myself, because it means more time that I can devote to this
project.

Looks impressive.  Sounds like you have still a long, long way to go...
