[1.0.1] 2026-07-31¤

Created compas_plotter.__all_plugins__, so COMPAS's plugin manager discovers the register_scene_objects factory through the standard collect_all path (the same mechanism compas_viewer uses).

Removed Eager, import-time register_scene_objects() call in compas_plotter.scene, and the from . import scene side-effect import in compas_plotter/__init__.py. These populated COMPAS's global ITEM_SCENEOBJECT at import time, which suppressed the lazy if not ITEM_SCENEOBJECT discovery trigger in compas.scene.context and left every other backend unregistered.

Initial COMPAS 2.x port of compas_plotters (the package that shipped inside COMPAS up to 1.17).
Plotter class for 2D matplotlib visualisation, including dynamic plotting (Plotter.on) with optional GIF recording.
"Plotter" visualisation context built on compas.scene.
Scene objects for Point, Vector, Line, Polyline, Polygon, Circle, Ellipse and Frame.
Scene objects for the Mesh and Graph data structures, with vertex/edge/face and node/edge labels.
PlotterScene, a compas.scene.Scene subclass bound to the "Plotter" context. Every Plotter now owns one, giving a hierarchical scene tree (parent/child transforms), serialization, and API symmetry with the Rhino, Blender and Viewer backends.
Scene object for Box, drawn as the exact XY projection of its six faces.
Shared ShapeObject drawing Sphere, Cylinder, Cone, Capsule, Torus and Polyhedron as tessellated XY projections, with u/v resolution control.

GraphObject.node_xyz and MeshObject.vertex_xyz return fresh view coordinates on every access instead of a mapping cached at first access, so a redraw in a Plotter.on animation loop picks up changes to the coordinates of the underlying datastructure.
