For plots of L-systems, certain chaotic attractors (gingerbread, hopalong) and dynamical system orbits (Lorenz, Lorend3d) it could be useful to be able to export a gnuplot file.
When we switch to OpenGL, these types will be more interactively viewable, but it can still be helpful to be able to export a gnuplot input file of the current view.
This is the easiest way to bridge to a plotter or printer. The svg terminal type in gnuplot can be used to generate an SVG rendering as well.
