A final possibility would be to drop graphics from the core library and rely on the wrapper to handle the graphics. <snip> This is a distinct possibility for Ifeffit2, though it would require some work to have a perl interface that Bruce could use.
I would not necessarily be adverse to this. While I find it convenient to let the ifeffit core fret about plotting, I could live without it. There are a number of solutions which athena and artemis could take advantage of, including the Perl Data Library (which uses pgplot) and an interface between perl/Tk and gnuplot. It would also be possible (albeit a lot of work) to build a good plotter using the perl/Tk canvas. So if you were to do this, I wouldn't squawk too much. However, if you remove plotting from the core, I wonder what you would do for command line use of ifeffit. One of the nice things about the command line ifeffit program right now is that it requires neither python nor perl to do its thing.
