+@enumerate

+@item @strong{Intuitive}.  Stop reading so much documentation
+@item @strong{Concise}.  Less code means fewer mistakes
+@item @strong{Flexible}.  Produce your favorite plots from your favorite package
+@item @strong{Consistent}.  Don't commit to one graphics package
+@item @strong{Lightweight}.  Very few dependencies
+@item @strong{Smart}.  Attempts to figure out what you want it to do
