Werner, Please be careful about replacing sprintf with snprintf in the examples. Not all compilers have snprintf available. Internally in the library we have cmake checks for this and define appropriate macros for platforms where snprintf is not available and a dummy wrapper plsnprintf which just calls sprintf.
These are defined in plplotP.h for internal use and are not available for users / examples. Your change as it stands is likely to break this example on some compilers including I believe Visual C++ and Borland. One option is to ensure the internal snprintf fixes are externally available. I'm not sure it is our role to provide this kind of additional functionality in the plplot API. The other option is to stick with sprintf in the examples, perhaps adding a comment to say that use of sprintf is discouraged, but for maximum portability we use it in our examples.
