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.
