Personograph

A personograph (Kuiper-Marshall plot) is a pictographic representation of relative harm and benefit from an intervention. It is similar to Visual Rx (Cates Plots). Each icon on the grid is colored to indicate whether that percentage of people is harmed by the intervention, would benefit from the intervention, has good outcome regardless of intervention, or bad outcome regardless of intervention. This terminology is similar to that of Uplift Modelling.

The plot function personograph is implemented in such a way that it's easy to just pass a named list of percentages, colors, and an icon. Making it potentially useful for other use cases as well.
