Do you mean the way graceplot (plplot) is organized?  Or the way that 
Octave uses graceplot (plplot)?

So in that approach there might be subfunctions such as __image__.m in 
different directories, e.g.,

/m/plot/xv
/m/plot/imagemagick
/m/plot/gnuplot
/m/plot/graceplot
/m/plot/plplot

?

Should work.  I will think that over.
