"""
This is a template file for writing new backends. It is a fully functional
backend, but no output is produced. One can specify this backend by
python somefile.py --SCITOOLS_easyviz_backend template
or one can specify the backend in the SciTools configuration file
scitools.cfg under the [easyviz] section
[easyviz]
backend = template
and then
from scitools.std import *
or if just easyviz is needed
from scitools.easyviz import *
When writing a new backend, one can copy this file to xxx_.py (note the
underscore), where 'xxx' is the name of the new backend. Then replace all
instances of 'template' with 'xxx' and start implementing the class
methods below. The most important methods are figure, _replot, and hardcopy.
REQUIREMENTS:
