[MATRIX-SIG] [long] A NO-Proposal for a plot-package

I've been watching the discussion here, and it seems fine to split
plotting away as a discussion from arrays, except for one thing.

Maybe some kinds of plots are pretty hard to do without the array
objects.

I have in mind things like contour plots (traditional and color) and
three (or more) dimensional scatterplots.

Now Python is reasonably quick as interpreters go, but I think building
the plotting package on top of graphics primitives and the array operations
will be easier and lead to a better result that just doing the plotting.

Later,
