Povray terminal output

[V. <var...@cl...>]

   Hello,

  This is a bit a crazy idea, but I was wondering if it would be possible to
have a povray terminal output for gnuplot, a bit like the latex terminal. I
don't know povray much so I don't know how suited it would be for displaying the
2D elements of a gnuplot output, but it is clearly very powerfull for 3D display.

  Why not use povray directly ? First because povray takes longer to learn, but
more important, because quite a few programs already use gnuplot as an output
routine (for instance maxima), adding a povray terminal to gnuplot would
increase the scope of gnuplot, establishing it as a excellent output driver for
scientific programs.

    I am aware this is a lot of work, but it would be so convienent.

      Regards,
