Graphics functions

The graphics module provides functions for creating, customizing, and managing plots, figures, colormaps, and graphical objects.

It includes 2-D and 3-D visualization, user interaction tools (zoom, pan, rotate), and utilities for working with colors, legends, axes, and text annotations.
