Thanks.

Thanks for your guidance on this issue. I also took this opportunity to remove the hand-crafted pyqt3 interface to PLplot and write up what is going on with the change from pyqt3 to pyqt4. The interface cuts went pretty deep in bindings/python/plplot_widgetmodule.c, but I have proved to my satisfaction that the remainder of that file (which now only implements Geoff's python access to plframe) still builds and runs without issues. For example, pytkdemo still works the same as before (i.e., with the issues I mentioned previously to Geoff, but no new ones). Alan __________________________ Alan W.
