Thanks, David, for your potential contribution to PLplot. Doug, I think you should ultimately be the one to review this patch (at http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2844452&group_id=2915&atid=302915) because of your interest in the mem driver. I am somewhat concerned about adding another function to the core API because of the costs of propagating that function to other languages, documenting it, and extending a standard example (in all our languages) to use it. Could this be implemented as a driver option instead that is set either on the command-line or with plsetopt? In any case, I think we should hold off committing anything related to this patch until after our forthcoming release which is imminent. Alan __________________________ Alan W.
