Hello,

I just realized that the default plot Z order is opposite that of the  
Gfx drawing functions.

This really messes up my draggable drawn button arrays I just finished  
coding after several days.

Of course I want the first button drawn to be on top so that I can  
have modular button code to receive mouse clicks from the top drawn  
buttons and not pass the mouse clicks to a hidden overlapped button  
underneath.  This is important, especially when the button is the  
handle to drag the whole array around the chart and it becomes hidden  
by a now nonfunctional button on top.

Is there a way to make the Gfx functions follow the GraphZOrder rules  
of the other plot functions?

Otherwise the only way I know is to split all the button click  
processing and drawing apart and mirror image them across the  
Formula.  This is a pain and turns my nice modular code into  
duplicated spaghetti code.

The lack of Z control on plots (or specified plot layers) has already  
cost me many dozens of hours of extra AFL code and architecting around  
this issue during the last year.  This has been on the requested list  
in one form or another by different users for just about forever.  I  
hope it makes its way into a release in the not to distant future.

Best regards,
Dennis
