+- quick plotting from the command line
+- customize the color, size, title, and shape of plots
+- pipe data into plots with stdin

+## usage
+### command line
+<code>hist</code> takes input from either stdin or specified using the -f parameter. Input should be a single column of numbers.

-<p><code>scatter</code> takes x and y coordinates as input form either a comma delimited file using -f or from 2 different files using -x and -y.</p>
