Do you know about ggplot? It's a plotting library based on a grammar
of graphic elements, rather than a bucket of pre-set charts, which is
what most plotting libraries offer. The design principles behind
ggplot are very Scheme-like: a small base of powerful orthogonal
features with as few restriction on composition as possible.

It would be great to have something like it in ggplot. I do a lot of
charting, but I hardly ever use the plot module since the charts I do
are more 'information design'-style charts that can't be made with
pre-set charts. If DrRacket had a plotting library like ggplot, I
would be able to stop building everything by hand from pict's.
