Hi Andrew: I think the new example 22 page 4 looks good, and is well worth propagating to other languages. However, before that is done I think something should also be done about pages 2 and 3 which come out essentially visually identical (even for pscairo where you can have really thin line widths) despite the change in arrow style and arrow filling those two pages are supposed to illustrate. In fact, I am not even sure the fill parameter is working from these results when I look at them in detail with gv under 4x resolution. Perhaps you should try a higher-resolution arrow (say, double the points) for one of the pages and thinner lines representing the arrow? Or perhaps just drop one or both of pages 2 and 3 since the plstransform method gives a better result (smoother edges + other plstransformed data) in any case. If you do decide to keep either or both of 2 and 3, there should be a title change between the two or three different constriction pages to distinguish them. Alan __________________________ Alan W.
