This library provides a comprehensive set offunctions for simultaneous generation of graphical output on differenttypes of devices. Presently, following devices are currently supportedby g2: X11, gd (PNG, JPEG), PostScript (xfig and Win32 are in developement).One major feature of the g2_library is the concept of virtual devices. Anarbitrary number of physical devices (such as PNG, or X11) can begrouped to create a so-called virtual device. Commands sent to such avirtual devices will automatically issued to all attached physicaldevices. This allows for example simultaneous output to a PNG file anda Postscript file. A virtual device in turn can be attached to anothervirtual device, allowing to construct trees of devices.  Virtualdevices can also be useful when using different user-coordinatesystems. E.g. one X11 window showing an overview of a graphicaloutput, and a second window showing a zoom of a more detailed area ofthe graphic. Drawing in both windows is performed by one singlecommand to the virtual device.                                                                                                             /-------> PNG:   g2_attach(id_PNG,...             ----------------------- g2_plot---> | Virtual device: id |--------> X11:   g2_attach(id_X11,...            -----------------------                                   \-------> PS:    g2_attach(id_PS,...If you don't need or like the concept of virtual devices, simply ignore it.
