Description
CMA diagrams are really helpful in helpful to classify and categorize the behavior of plasma waves in different regimes. However, CMA diagrams can be very complicated to draw because plasma waves are kind of a mess have very rich physics with multiple different cutoffs and resonances. It'd be really helpful to have functionality that would let us create and plot CMA diagrams, given the difficulty of drawing them. This could lead to some great educational notebooks on plasma waves too.
I'm also curious if there's functionality like this already out there in the pythoniverse. I did a search on the World Wide Web™ and noticed CMApp though I couldn't find the software.
This is very related to #907.

Research direction
Start by reviewing related issue #907 and checking whether PlasmaPy already has CMA-diagram or plotting functionality, as the issue names no files or tests. Before implementation, define the supported inputs, cutoff and resonance handling, plot outputs, and educational-notebook scope; the issue provides no concrete completion criteria.
