Plotting capabilities

All this is about the in-development plotting module.

Many examples of the plotting module capabilities are given in the docstrings and the IPython notebooks that are part of the module. However, there are many other types of plots that can be implemented and those are not listed anywhere. Hence this page on which the capabilities of other software packages will be compared to the current plotting module.

All the syntax examples will be from the highest level convenience functions. No BaseSeries subclasses will be visible. The Plot class will not be called directly.

Remark about the Plot class: The low-level way to create a plot is to create instances of BaseSeries and append them to a Plot instance. However, for convenience, Plot also supports creating these BaseSeries instances itself for a small subset of all BaseSeries subclasses. Check the factory class Series for details.
