I have used PLplot for everything, including plotting FITS file maps
(with transform) for a while and it works OK. However, I usually use
the low-end direct interface to get it do exactly what I want. (e.g.
http://de.arxiv.org/pdf/0710.5707v1 from page 28, seems that they have
used bitmap in the archive...).

For really high quality plotting, Asymptote looks very promising, I
may get converted to use it for publications. Too bad that it cannot
be used for 'real time' plotting (PS-interface only).

Cheers & thanks,
Kaj
