Hi Alan,

Thanks for the patient explanation of the test dependencies.

Confirmed. The test ran in the X system, with the pictures flying by really 
fast. The only thing that I found odd was that beginning with the "cropped 
Lena" image, I had to move focus to the X window and hit Return four times, 
each time advancing to another modified Lena image, and at that point the plots 
updated once again without input by me.

I don't have a dog in this (Tcl/Tk) race so I don't want to be a drag by 
pursuing this if nobody else is having a problem. I do think that my problems 
might also be shared by other OS X users and maybe we haven't had bug reports 
because OS X is a "minority OS" wrt PLplot and usage is light, or actual Tcl 
users are doing something that I don't know how to do.

Does the Tk interactive method allow the user to use a mouse to interactively 
select a rectangular portion of the plot for zooming? This would certainly be 
useful and then I would have an actual personal interest in this work. Do any 
of the interactive devices allow this? X, Aquaterm and Qt do not--those are the 
only ones that I have tried.
