Default Can NEC2 plot radiation resistance vs. frequency?

Yep. For example, 4NEC2

can plot:

for this ground plane antenna:

NEC2 doesn't plot anything.. purely text.

And while it can calculate feedpoint impedance vs frequency, which any
number of programs can plot, that's not radiation resistance.
