I'm home sick and running a fever, so don't be surprised if anything I
say doesn't make sense.

Yes.  Right now Guppi only defines "low-level" objects, which are
manually pieced together for the demos.  There badly needs to be a
higher-level way of constructing and operating on plots, but the exact
details of that haven't really been hashed out yet.  The necessity of
working out the details of this is becoming increasingly clear to me,
though...
