One starting point I know of is David's MPI_PLOT. Another is my DISPLAY.
DISPLAY already has complete 2D plotting functionality. If you want
volume rendering, just add your own volume object and lights to one of
the DISPLAY's models. Saving and restoring is already present, as well
as printing (a little glitchy but it was never a priority to me) and
clipboard copying.
