To Hez and Andrew: I have just assigned the "const" qualifier to all array arguments of pllegend. I think this is the right thing to do, and it seems to work fine, but neither of you mentioned this possibility when reviewing the pllegend API, and I am inexperienced with the "const" nuances. Furthermore, I notice with other PLplot functions many (but not all) array arguments do not have the "const" qualifier. So if there are downsides please let me know before the release so I can change it back.
If the decision is pro "const", should we be using this qualifier for most of the array arguments to PLplot functions? Of course, that is a large backwards-incompatible API change so we would have to pick our moment when we wanted to do that change. Alan __________________________ Alan W.
