I was able to fix this, so you should now be able to write to stdout. The bounding box issue is going to take some more fiddling. I think I was misled by the default ps viewer on OS-X, "Preview", which seems to resize so that the plot is not clipped. I'll start testing using my linux box and ghostview instead. -Hazen ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
