Hi Alan, I built PLplot with Tcl 8.4.12 but to my astonishment I am not getting _any_ differences anymore - examples 3, 11, 15, 16, 20 all give perfect matches. The easiest way to see if tcl_precision will make a difference on other platforms is to add the following line in the file pltcl.c, just before the return of AppInit(): Tcl_SetVar( interp, "tcl_precision", "17", TCL_GLOBAL_ONLY); this way you set the value from the start and only need to change a single file. (Alternatively you would have to add "set tcl_precision 17" to all files x01, x02, ...) What a timing for a Heisenbug or one of its cousins!
