That looks really nice. I've always wanted the ability to do direction
fields for differential equations.

I assume that plotdf is for openmath only. Since gnuplot is now the
default, we need to at least make some mention of that. Does your plotdf
implementation call openmath directly?
If the changes are small, we can probably incorporate them now.

Did you add to PLOT_OPTIONS (soon to be plot_options!) itself, or are
the examples just in the plot_options section?
