+Dependencies
+============
+
+  Other versions may work but this hasn't been tested
+  - libpng (1.6.37)
+  - mpc (version 1.2.1)
+  - mpfr (version 4.1.0)
+
+  Using the [GNU Guix] package manager, you can simple run
+  ,----
+  | guix shell -f guix.scm
+  `----
+  to get a shell with everything set up. You can also authenticate the
+  git history with
+  ,----
+  | guix git authenticate -k origin/keyring \
+  |      1fb8ce84b2e4329007a23c047a8ea211d629da00 \
+  |      'D5BA 4708 FA7D 0AFD 9C0E  6556 ECD7 F82F 5327 404C'
+  `----
+  In order to get a (hopefully) identically environment, you can run
+  ,----
+  | guix time-machine --commit=716f2b330fb0566e48423a7f928759a351e73850 -- \
+  |      shell -f guix.scm

+
+
+Usage
+=====
+
+  The coefficient file has to be a whitespace seperated list of
+  coefficients.  They can be written as decimal numbers (e.g. `23.3'),
+  floating point numbers (e.g. `1.25e+7') or pairs of two such numbers
+  as real and imaginary part respectivel (e.g. `(3 1.3e-3)').  As an
+  example, the following plots the geometric series up to \(O (z^{11))\)
+  on a disk of radius \(1.2\) around \(0\) with a resolution of 400 by
+  400 pixels.
+  ,----
+  | cat >coeffs.txt <<EOF
+  | 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
+  | EOF
+  | 
+  | polyplot -R400 -r1.2 coeffs.txt
