In a nut shell: A plotting algorithm should sample the function the
same way a numeric integration routine does. The number of samples in
a given interval should depend on how the function oscillates.

For one dimensional plotting and for references to a description of
the algorithm see:
https://github.com/soegaard/bracket/blob/master/plotting/adaptive-plotting.rkt

I have collected "horror" examples to test the plotting routine. See
the end of the file.
