Where do segments fall? I’ve seen a lot of applications where passing a list with x1, x2, y1, y2 coordinates is very helpful.

Added to the list, thanks.

(We already use segments internally for interval plots, but we can certainly support user-provided coordinates.)

Would you consider supporting plotting sf objects? Base plotting is much faster than e.g. ggplot2 or dedicated spatial plotting libraries such as tmap. Tinyplot could fill a nice niche here!

Thanks for the suggestion: sf is not supported yet but it is on the wishlist, see #210
