The issue here is to make it possible to capture Display and Plotter data.

A team of CMU students modified how the plotter and Display actors work.

Basically, we now have ptolemy.actor.lib.gui.DisplayInterface.

actor.lib.gui.Display has
protected DisplayInterface _getImplementation()
which reads
ptolemy/actor/ActorModule.properties


The thing to do would be to make it so that we can substitute in a different
ActorModule.properties file that uses different actors as an implementation.

To do this, we would need a class that calls 
ptolemy.actor.injection.ActorModuleInitializer.setInitializer()

The class would need to be invoked via the command line.

I changed this from a blocker to an enhancement because Kepler works as
defined, so this is not a bug, it is missing functionality.  

I can see how it would be important to get this done, so I've left it P1.
