Spurred on by this I have put some effort into cleaning up the examples and adding missing functions in the language bindings. As a result I now get complete agreement between the C, C++, f77 and f95 examples. This is a great step forward. The octave, java and python examples are also completed and in agreement with the C versions with the exception of example 19. The only issue here is that plmap and plmeridians are not available because of the callback issue. If we can find a way of addressing this we will have 7 languages with full common API and examples. This is a great selling point for plplot. Ada is not too far off. Currently example 20 is missing (plgriddata not implemented?). There are differences with example 21 (plrandd not implemented) and example 29 (problems with Ada calendar functions - we could just hard code in the time value if required - not a plplot issue.) There is also the open 64-bit issue with example 19. Tcl is lagging well behind. We're lacking any dedicated tcl users to help with this. The ocaml bindings are very new, but are starting to shape up. Hez is actively working on this.
