I've tried it but have found the auto-generated x-ray files underwhelming. The only good one I've encountered was actually hand-crafted for The 3-Body Problem. Wasn't it even done by you, j.p.s?

And given that one of the dependencies takes forever to compile on my Gentoo system, I've recently ditched the plugin. Might pick it up again eventually on a different system.
