Other than the box, I don't really see how that is significantly
different from what I drew.  But I guess you want something different.

You can, but I see it appears to make no difference. :-(

Since I don't know postscript, about all I can do is, perhaps, make
plot2d accept a plot_format of ps and run plot2d_ps appropriately.

Someone else will have to fix the postscript plotting routines.
