Great question!
I did some very basic R-scripts to derive boxplots by myself.

Absolutely!

I understand.

I collect much data about myself using Memacs (see signature).
However, I did not derive anything else but some boxplots from it
(visualizing time-differences between periodic events).
Something generic which I can feed Org-mode files (most preferably
in Memacs-like Org-mode format) and derive some standard graphics
(where I pick those that make sense) would be very great!
