	My personal opinion is that GiNaC should provide basic functionality
  for drawing AND an easy possibility for a user to extend/redefine the
  default routines.

	Yes, Daniel already mentioned that. Eg, since Asymptote uses cubic
  splines a much better output can be obtained with an enriching evalf() at
  a mesh points with diff().evalf(). A user should have a freedom to get
  access to the whole expression and whole GiNaC set of tools to create
  his own output routines adjusted to specific cases.

  Best wishes,
  Vladimir
