PLplot cannot use new colors, except predefined before initialization, during plotting. This makes usage of Compose (primitives drawing backend package for Gadfly) somewhat hard because information about primitive colors appear as as you parse plot structure. Moreover, PLplot has large collection of high-level plotting functions (histograms, 3D plots, etc.) which could be used as directly and not reconstructed from primitives. Currently, I'm exploring different ways of using Gadfly syntax to handle high-level PLplot functions.
