I was too optimistic. Moving the cursor creation to runtime is easy, but it triggers an avalanche of warnings and errors, sometimes ending in a segfault, if one tries to plot anything when there is no X display. Better to leave it the way it is, failing at import. Eric ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Special Offer -- Download ArcSight Logger for FREE!
