It sounds interesting. Technically PLplot is a plotting library so it has no CLI, so I wouldn't worry about that, especially at the beginning of your project. In general the examples accept command line arguments when they are executed, but (I don't think) there is a hard and fast rule that they have to work that way. We do use the examples as part of test infrastructure however, and the infrastructure does take advantage of command line arguments, so to eventually reach a "mature" state we'd like to have a way to at least do something similar with javascript bindings. We'll try and answer your questions as you proceed and, as Alan mentioned, if you are willing to contribute your work under LGPL, then we can work with you to incorporate it. Also, PLplot has been around for quite a while, and the meaning of "cross-platform" has shifted a bit over the years :). To us it means that it runs on Linux, OS-X and Windows. best, -Hazen ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Create and publish websites with WebMatrix Use the most popular FREE web apps or write code yourself; WebMatrix provides all the features you need to develop and publish your website. http://p.sf.net/sfu/ms-webmatrix-sf _______________________________________________ Plplot-devel mailing list Plplot-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/plplot-devel
