I second that.

My 0.02€: I'd favor the "common" way to do it, i.e. set-functions, 
rather than having your users learn a new "cute-ish" scheme with stream 
ops to just set some values.

Additionally: how does one use boost::bind with stream operator 
functions? bind(operator<<(..), my_plot, bind(set_x_scale(), _1, _2)) ?
