+     "The package provides the means to use PDF drawing primitives to produce
+high quality, colored graphics.  It uses Bezier curves (integral and rational)
+from degree one to seven, allows TeX typesetting in the graphic, offers most
+of the standard math functions, allows plotting normal, parametric and polar
+functions.  The package has linear, logx, logy, logxy and polar grids with
+many specs; it can rotate, clip and do many nice things easily it has two
+looping commands for programming and many instructive example files.")
