I could make a modification of that and include it in Display2D.

Note: I'd suggest two changes to the arguments of that function

	1. It really should be a File, not a String
	2. It should also support PDF.  I suggest an integer argument  
differentiating the two.

Also we could call it from the original method to save space.
