-For plotting on the fly (RScript)
+==== Show a plot
+
+"Rscript" writes plotting commands that would normally go to an X window to "Rplots.pdf".  *show!* merely executes your code and opens Rplots.pdf with @pdf_viewer.  It's low tech, but it works.
+
+    simpler.pdf_viewer = "acroread"
+    simpler.with(xv,yv) {|x,y|  "plot(#{x}, #{y})"  }.show!
+
+==== Using DataFrames
+
+    hash = {
+      :one => [1,2,6,7],
+      :two => [3,4,2,9],
+      :three => [3,1,1,7],
+    }
+
+    df = Simpler::DataFrame.new(hash)
+    simpler.with(df) {|d|  "plot(#{d})" }.show!
+
+DataFrame also supports named rows and specifying directly column names.
