+plots (and similar objects), and formatting them for inclusion in a MetaPost
+figure.  The intent is that the plots can be generated by some outside
+program, in an abstract manner that does not require making decisions about
+on-page sizing and layout, and then they can be imported into MetaPlot and
+arranged using the full capabilities of MetaPost.  Metaplot also includes
+a very flexible set of macros for generating plot axes, which may be useful in
+other contexts as well.")
