Hi Andrew: Actually, numerical arrays, matrices, and other special constructs need typemaps, but input PLINT, PLFLT, and strings apparently do not. Therefore, I am going to spend a few hours on this project immediately with a no-typemaps plplot_octave.i, and the necessary CMake support (including an option for choosing the swig-based Octave bindings which simultanously limits the examples tested) to see how far I can get (on Linux but also on wine if Linux works) with examples such as example 10 that do not use arrays.
