This chapter describes the requirements for a modern statistical graphics system for the production of static plots. There is a discussion of the production of complete plots, customizing plots, adding extra output to plots and creating entirely new plots. Statistical graphics is described as an extension of a general graphics language. There is an emphasis on the importance of support for sophisticated graphics facilities such as semitransparent colours, image compositing operators and the complex arrangement of graphical elements.
