Plot OpenStreet Map pbf/xml file

For maps, we don't use the term "plot a graph" - we speak of "rendering a map". While plotting a graph usually involves nothing more than saying "here's a bunch of numbers, please draw this" (and perhaps adding "... with a blue line"), rendering a map is vastly more complicated, as you will need drawing styles for every single feature, and potentially on different zoom levels.

To make matters even more complicated, the history file not only contains different map features, but timestamps as well. You cannot (easily) render a map that shows different times; you will first have to decide which date you want to draw a map for, so you'll want to use the osmium command line tool to extract the data for a specific date. Then you can proceed with rendering it; if you want to render the map for the whole planet you might need to load the data into a PostgreSQL data base with osm2pgsql then render with a tile server (Mapnik, renderd), or if you only want a small area then you can again use osmium to excerpt that area from the history file and render it with something like Maperitive or even QGIS.
