/// Inherit from this class to create a new backend

/// - Interactive backends show the plots on a window

/// - Non-interactive backends save the plots to a file

/// - The only backend for which we currently provide a

/// concrete implementation is gnuplot pipes. A gnuplot

/// pipe can be an interactive or non-interactive depending

/// on the terminal.

/// - Unfortunately, backends based on gnuplot terminals

/// need to be treated differently because they consume

/// commands rather vertices. It might be technically

/// possible to come up with a workaround to make gnuplot

/// plot each vertex but this is definitely not worth it.

/// - The interface for backends that expect lists of

/// vertices to draw are somewhat inspired in ImGui backends

/// and Matplotlib backends. You can see some examples at:

/// https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/blob/master/src/_backend_agg.h

/// https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/tree/master/examples

/// - If implementing such an interface, the functions

/// for gnuplot pipes should just be ignored.

/// - These are placeholders with no concrete implementation.

/// We still need to define the functions that generate vertices

/// in the classes that inherit from axes_object, and these

/// functions in the interface are likely to change as we

/// need. A good place to start is probably the line object,

/// which is fundamental for most plots.
