Agreed. I'll happily look at a patch if you come up with a fix.

> 2) The automatic coloring when using AddLinePoints is really nice. It would be great if there was some way that this could cache how many lines had been added so that you could add lines in a loop and have the colors be automatically adjusted.

It's not as convenient, but you can use the plotutil.Color function to help out with that.

Feel free to add things to the design doc if you want, I claim no ownership over it. In fact, part of the point was to get community involvement in the design.

Unfortunately for Plotinum, I'm working now (no more grad school), so I won't be actively working on Plotinum in the foreseeable future. However, I'll happily look at patches and I don't mind discussing design ideas. But, I may be a bit slow at responding. I guess that is just further motivation for the gonum community to take over.
