// The `plot_output' class, subclassed from the `common_output' class.
// In this class we invoke GNU libplot operations to draw objects.

// If the `precision_dashing' flag is set, we draw some types of object
// (arcs, polygons, circles, rounded boxes) in a special way.  The object
// boundary is drawn as a sequence of line segments (if it's to be
// "dashed") or a sequence of filled circles (if it's to be "dotted").
// This is done by invoking e.g. the dashed_arc, dotted_arc, dashed_circle,
// dotted_circle, and rounded_box operations in the `common_output'
// superclass.

// This is the only reason why we subclass from `common_output', rather
// than directly from `output'.
