For this purpose, I use Ghostscript. Here is a little shell script that
facilitates things. First, print to a PostScript file, then call gsconv
soandso.ps:
#!/bin/sh
echo Conversion of $1 to file plot.ppm
gs -sDEVICE=ppm -r300 -sOutputFile=~/plot.ppm $1
echo ...
echo GSCONV now loads gimp with the converted file - please wait
echo ...
gimp ~/plot.ppm &
There may be easier ways, but this has worked for me for some time.
