as one can easily from looking at the sourcecode,
"multiplot export" currently only supports
exporting to 'grace', 'xmgr', and 'xmgrace'.
everything else is silently ignored.

since tcl allows to export a canvas to postscript,
it should in principle be doable to support this
with a little programming.
