What is ploticus not good for?
Ploticus is not a function plotting package; it has scant support for mathematical formulas, scientific notations, or inline font or point size changes. You can’t plot binary data with ploticus. There are no 3-D types of plots such as contours. Ploticus is not a “marketing” graphics package, and “chartjunk” effects, clip-art, gradient backgrounds, and so on have been intentionally avoided.
