2 Consider how to have two 'things' on the x and/or y axis with separate axis labelling on the far right/top. This is actually quite a common feature. Do you mean two different scales? For example, plotting [pirates vs time] and [pirates vs average global temperature], with keys on the top corner indicating which is what?
And the mere mention of keys makes me realized that I've overlooked them until now. I could have options to produce a key in the same image file or in a different image file, control control where on the graph it goes, and whether or not the graph auto-scales in order to fit the key on it nicely. That last one sounds like a pain, so it'll be far down the features list. I'll have to spend a good chunk of time today editing the wiki to put in all of the suggestions you've given me, and all of the changes your suggestions have inspired! Jake
