given, and it takes some time to set all these. It is trivial to plot sin(x), but then the graph must be "dressed" up, proper limits, labels, ticmarks, colour etc. What I mean by this is that many people rejoice in this fact, and they do not make the effort to turn the figure into something appealing. I liked the idea that one needn't see the data file in order to plot it, and that functions can very easily be plotted.
