Hello, I fear the '\x' macro in pgf can be considered as a bug... I think that using '(\x)' instead of '\x' will fix those problems. Note that your pgfplots example doesn't use '\x' -- it uses 'x' only which is a different feature. best regards Christian ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Next 800 Companies to Lead America's Growth: New Video Whitepaper David G.
