The problem with plotutils is that, while a nice package, it is
inherently non-interactive.  It renders static images.

For Guppi, we want to provide the ability to manipulate the plot
interactively, with things like mouse-driven zooming and panning.  The
gtk-- plot/drawing widgets also allow for animated displays.
