Backend independent print function

Hi, 

Have you made a backend independent print function, yet? 
Have you some thoughts on this? 

The reason why I ask, is that gnuplot and octave is so sloooooooooooooow
both rendering and printing. 
I am sick and tired of waiting for the retarded gnuplot to create a png of a
plot.

I'm using data from a file sized between 500 - 800 MB, and fltk plotted the
data sets in no time compared to gnuplot. Parsing of the file takes 1300
seconds. Plotting and printing takes 20 minutes, 10 figures. 30 minutes
total using gnuplot. What if the fltk and the oplot backend uses half the
plotting-printing time? That would great. ;-) 

That's why I raise that question. 

Best regards, 

Ole J. Hagen
