Thanks! Now how do I figure out the redacted form for Python?
Using the function plbin as an example, for java I can go:
grep plbin bindings/java/*
and I get:
java/PLStream.java: plplotjavac.plbin(x, y, center);
From which I infer that the first argument, nbin, has been dropped.
If I look in bindings/swig-support/plplotcapi.i to try and see what
Python will do I see:
%feature("autodoc", "Plot a histogram using x to store data values
and y to store frequencies.") plbin;
void
plbin(PLINT n, PLFLT *Array, PLFLT *ArrayCk, PLINT center);
Which suggests that Python has kept the first argument.
