// <synopsis>
// This is the class that a programmer should instantiate if he wants to open
// a "device" to plot to. The device might be local, or it might be remote
// (i.e., running under Glish). The philosophy of the plotting interface is
// described in the 
// <linkto class="PGPlotterInterface">PGPlotterInterface</linkto> documentation.
//
// It is possible that the object might not be attached to a valid plot device
// (for example, the user might have said "no plotting." Programerss should 
// check the <src>isAttached()</src> member before plotting. If you attempt to
// plot to an unattached plotter, an exception is thrown.
//
// Copying a <src>PGPlotter</src> uses reference semantics -- after copying
// plotting on the old and new objects will result in the plot commands 
// appearing on the same device. The device is closed only when the last 
// reference is destructed.
//
// You can detach a plotter from a device with the <src>detach()</src> call.
// If there are no other references to the plotter, this will close the device.
// (What it actually does is call the destructor on the object. For a local
// PGPPLOT device this will close it).
// </synopsis>
//
// <example>
// <srcblock>
//     // plot y = x*x
//     Vector<Float> x(100), y(100);
//     indgen(x);
//     y = x*x;
 
//     PGPlotter plotter("myplot.ps/ps");
//     plotter.env(0, 100, 0, 100*100, 0, 0);
//     plotter.line(x, y);
// </srcblock>
// </example>
