PNG?  SVG?


Oh, and just because we're talking about multiple "files" here doesn't
mean that implementation detail has to be exposed to the user.  Our
output file format could be CPIO or tar, so that gschem sees multiple
input files (all still in a text format, of course), but they can be
bundled together into a single file for convenience and configuration
management.
