           command. The command prefix is "plotout_eps".
Side Effects
           Plots current view into postscript file.
           If the file is not changed multiple plot images are saved
           into a numbered files.
Example
               > plotout, graph.eps[color]
               -> plots to file "graph.eps", using standard postscript
               format, and colors. Repeating plotout will yield
               "graph.eps", "graph1.eps", "graph2.eps"....
