If you carefully compare the two plots by "blinking" between them the twisted secondary X and Y axis labels for x28_xwin.png are really obvious. Furthermore, the primary X and Y axis labels show a small amount of twisting as well. The Z axis labels appear to be okay. However, I cannot confirm the issue on my Linux (Debian Lenny) platform. -dev xwin produces properly alligned results as does -dev png -drvopt text=0 (which also uses the same core library code path to render the Hershey fonts independent of device driver). So it appears there is some platform-dependent issue with -dev xwin. What platform were you using? Do you get good results on OS X and/or Linux? Alan __________________________ Alan W.
