Has anyone tried to make complex visualizations with Penrose that would mirror some of the graphics in https://www.amazon.com/Visual-Complex-Analysis-Tristan-Needh...

While I do see the value in a programmatic diagram tool, I'm not sure I'll use it over something like Inkscape if the visualization is fairly simple.
