In this case, there's probably a number of things going on.

1. Me not knowing when to use plot vs. pict.
2. Me having used plot in a library of my own, and then wanting to use
something from that library in my documentation. At that point, perhaps my
library should be organized so that I can separately include the parts that
require plot and the parts that don't.
3. I want to use the plot-generating parts of my library to write docs,
but  can't use them directly (on OSX, but it would work elsewhere?)...
which, is some combination of #1 and #2.

The summation of 1, 2, and 3 might sum to a result that says I haven't
taken the time to understand the connections between these libraries, and
that I have assembled my own code in sloppy ways. It was, however, a
surprise for me when I ran into it.

Cheers,
Matt
