Description : Pandoc filter to create figures from code blocks using your plotting toolkit of choice

This module defines a Pandoc filter @makePlot@ and related functions
that can be used to walk over a Pandoc document and generate figures from
code blocks using a multitude of plotting toolkits.
The syntax for code blocks is simple, Code blocks with the appropriate class
attribute will trigger the filter:
* @matplotlib@ for matplotlib-based Python plots;
* @plotly_python@ for Plotly-based Python plots;
* @matlabplot@ for MATLAB plots;
* @mathplot@ for Mathematica plots;
* @octaveplot@ for GNU Octave plots;
* @ggplot2@ for ggplot2-based R plots;
* @gnuplot@ for gnuplot plots;
The code block will be reworked into a script and the output figure will be captured. Optionally, the source code
used to generate the figure will be linked in the caption.
Here are the possible attributes what pandoc-plot understands for ALL toolkits:
* @directory=...@ : Directory where to save the figure.
* @source=true|false@ : Whether or not to link the source code of this figure in the caption. Ideal for web pages, for example. Default is false.
* @format=...@: Format of the generated figure. This can be an extension or an acronym, e.g. @format=PNG@.
* @caption="..."@: Specify a plot caption (or alternate text). Captions should be formatted in Markdown, with LaTeX math.
* @dpi=...@: Specify a value for figure resolution, or dots-per-inch. Certain toolkits ignore this.
* @preamble=...@: Path to a file to include before the code block. Ideal to avoid repetition over many figures.
Default values for the above attributes are stored in the @Configuration@ datatype. These can be specified in a
YAML file which must be named ".pandoc-plot.yml".
Here is an example code block which will render a figure using gnuplot, in Markdown:
@
```{.gnuplot format=png caption="Sinusoidal function"}
sin(x)
set xlabel "x"
set ylabel "y"
```
@
