For sure it would give a completely different file, just as the pscairo
and ps drivers within plplot give very different files. Interestingly
(if you get excited about such things), the Qt ps file advertises itself
as PS-Adope-1.0, that is, not 2.0 or 3.0, and not as an eps - though it
does give a bounding box.

When we eventually deliver a self-contained Qt driver, you can all run
the various plplot examples and compare detailed performance. We're also
experimenting with the Qt print dialog, that will redraw the plot
directly to a printer rather force the user to save the file somewhere.

We do this from a Qt menu attached to the plot canvas on the screen, but
I think it should also be possible to drive it directly from the code to
the file for batch work.
