Hi Sebastian:

It has been requested before.  I submitted a version of
ess-sas-graph-view that did something similar.  However,
I can't find that post in the archives.  ess-sas-graph-view
started out as a general purpose method of viewing image
files from ESS.  Over time, I made it specific to SAS only.
So, you can either look at ess-sas-graph-view today and
subtract the SAS specific stuff or you can get an early
version of ess-sas-graph-view from SVN.  Or maybe you
could find the original post in the archives, I tried google,
but there might be a better way.
