I think it writes VTK files.

Yes, PyCC uses the DOLFIN mesh library, but I think the plotter.py
script assumes a PyCC wrapper of the DOLFIN mesh. Probably, the extra
wrapper layer can be removed when the new DOLFIN mesh is in place with
proper Python bindinds.

Both interfaces have a slightly old-fashioned feel to them (mainly
because of the windowing toolkits they use). It will be nice to get
hands on the new versions.
