+unified way regardless of output format (EPS, PDF, PNG, SVG, TIFF, WMF, etc.).
+Default device options as well as scales and aspect ratios are controlled in a
+uniform way across all device types.  Switching output format requires minimal
+changes in code.  This package is ideal for large-scale batch processing,
+because it will never leave open graphics devices or incomplete image files
+behind, even on errors or user interrupts.")
