Thanks, for the all the stuff - I already installed gnat (mingw, windows) and will try soon the bindings. > > I notice that when Example 1 runs on my Mac, whether in C or Ada, the > symbols in the upper two plots are drawn as squares rather than > circles.

This is because the font is used to draw symbols, an the symbols used for plotting are not included in the font you use. If you turn off freetype support (normally with the option -drvopt text=0) the standard hershey fonts are used and you should see the correct symbols. In Linux freefont is used http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/freefont/ which has a symbol here. So if the symbol is correctly drawn with the option explained above than it's not a plplot problem, rather a font problem. Thanks, and I'll keep you informed about my success with Ada on Windows. -Werner -- Dipl. Ing.
