Fons, You might like to look at the mem device. This might do what you want. Interestingly enough there is someone else currently looking on plotting direct to an X Drawable which sounds even more like what you want. You can find the relevant thread and patch on the plplot-devel mailing list. There is an archive at http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_name=plplot-devel This uses Cairo to produce the output, which provides better font support amongst other things.
