That is the same here. It is because of the -np (no pause) option available with -dev xwin. > 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. That is the same here. I have forgotten the details, but I believe the "Lena" example necessarily must turn off the no-pause option internally in order to work at all. So you have to hit return to get through it. After that example, (see examples/tcl/standard_examples.tcl.in) plpause 0 is executed ( http://plplot.sourceforge.net/docbook-manual/plplot-html-5.9.9/plspause.html) to disable pausing again. > 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. No, your above test results indicate all is perfect with Tcl and -dev xwin on your system, and your prior test indicated all was perfect with Tcl and -dev psc on your system.
