Could you please expand on this point? You mean for the 1D case (vectors) ?

Well, that is for me the main motivation for the Rclient library. It
would allow you to install R and use ggplot2 to produce plots, see
http://had.co.nz/ggplot2/book/qplot.pdf for an introduction (sample
chapter, it does much more).
Rclient allows to exchange data back and forth between LuaJIT and an R
server session and execute arbitrary R code.
Yes, you would need R (which is GPL) and you would be able to produce
just non-interactive plots (not even resizing) so mainly plot to
files. But the Rclient library will be MIT licensed if this is a
concern.
I think that, for the short term at least, this is a good compromise.
