PLOT FORMAT:
           Uses current plot settings to write out to png graphics
           file. Apart from postscript plotout drivers here the
           colors will be kept "as is" (WYSIWYG). If the color
           keyword is not set the output is grayscale (no automatic
           setting of deltacolor=0 etc.).

             ysize     - Size in Y-direction in cm.
             aspect    - ratio of y/x. Default is 0.75.

                         format.

             quiet     - Do not actually plot out but open/store file
                         and parameters only.
SETUP:
           All keywords/options may be set with the "set"
           command. The command prefix is "plotout_png".
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.png
               -> plots to file "graph.png", using standard jpeg
               format, and colors. Repeating plotout will yield
               "graph.png", "graph001.png", "graph2.png"....
