Hi Andrew,

Try PLoT; it's a collection in PLT Scheme that may do what you want.
There's a paper on it here:

    http://repository.readscheme.org/ftp/papers/sw2003/PLoTScheme.pdf

and Help Desk should give more information on it.



Tangent question: has anyone looked at Design by Numbers?

I'm was curious what other PLT Scheme folks think about it.


Best of wishes!
