[Clas12_software] Plotting package broken

[Fatiha Benmokhtar]

 I suggest the solution: answer to the best of our knowledge. Then when
the experts have time, they can come and write AGREE, or DISAGREE, if it
is a DISAGREE, then they can write to correct answer.

 This way, the users won't be waiting forever and the expert won't be
bothered with repetitive questions.

 Best,

Fatiha
