I have been wrestling with the problem of doing graphics on 
a next.  I was wondering if there any simple way to do 
graphics, without going through writing my own 
post-script macros??  

In X-Windows I have used the VPLOT macros, which actually
make X-window graphics "somewhat easy".  In perticular, is 
there any relatively simple way to open up a window, and use 
functions on the order of "plotpoint x,y ", 
"drawline x1,y1,x2,y2", "circle x,y,r", etc.??

I searched through the on line documentation, and did not 
see much that would help.

 Any ideas would be appreciated.
