## Use
Load it in. The underlying plotting backends are not imported until `plotter()` is called (which happens
on your first call to `plot`). This means that you don't need any backends to be installed when you call `using Plots`.
For now, the default backend is Qwt.
For now, the default backend is Gadfly.
```
using Plots
```
Do a plot in Qwt, then save a png:
```
plot(rand(10,2); marker = :rect)
savepng(Plots.IMG_DIR * "qwt1.png")
```
which saves:
![qwt_plt](img/qwt1.png)
Do a plot in Gadfly, then save a png:
```
plotter!(:gadfly) # switches the backend to Gadfly
plot(rand(10,2); marker = :rect)
savepng(Plots.IMG_DIR * "gadfly1.png")
