The output formats based upon an eps image are bmp, jpg, pbm, pcx, pdf, pgm, pgn, pnm, ppm, ps, and tiff. Using an eps image as the basis for most output formats allow all those formats to benefit from efforts invested in eps output.

On a somewhat related note, are the changes specific to FLTK and Gnuplot, or does it apply to any OpenGL based backend and Gnuplot? The reason I ask is because Michael Goffioull and I (mostly Michael) have been working on a GTK/OpenGL backend and I wonder how much of the FLTK improvements will apply to all OpenGL based backend.
