Plotting API (proposed)

1d plotting API

TBD

2d plotting API

The proposed data structure, to be fed over the wire to the plotting engine, is as follows: in JSON,

plottable_data = {
    'counts':  [ [1, 2], [3, 4] ],
    'title': 'This is the title',
    'xmax': 1.0,
    'xmin': 0.0, 
    'ymin': 0.0, 
    'ymax': 12.0,
    'xdim': 608,
    'ydim': 512, 
    'xlabel': 'This is my x-axis label',
    'ylabel': 'This is my y-axis label',
};

A tool for converting from the industry-standard x,y,z triplets to the row-ordered form above will be provided.
