Yes, I also realized how limited the selection of graphs there was. Such a library should have everything or nothing. And yes, the library does not belong to the project's core distribution. Instead we should ASAP have an online package installer which has been planned for long but still not implemented. I must lift it up in my own priority list. I still think such library is justified because it is not a collection of image files but a code library drawing simple graph symbols and flags on canvas. For a complicated graph an image file is better. This library would also compete with Unicode text because Unicode now contains many well known graphics, but fonts installed on a system may not support them all. The library could be made as a helper class for TCanvas thus making it easy to use. Anyway I am sorry for my strong comments. Opinions around this topic inevitably insult and intimidate somebody.
