Native graphics are constructed by developing the plots in Julia and using wrapper calls to libraries such as cairo, pango, and tk.
In this section, we will consider creating graphics by means of an external tasks (programs) rather than shared libraries. Clearly, this means that the program must be installed on the specific computer and not all operating systems are equivalent with respect to the various packages on offer.
