I very much appreciate your efforts informing the octave and swig development teams about the issue. I think swig-generated bindings for octave are important for a number of software projects beyond PLplot so hopefully cooler heads will prevail, and the two teams will work it out in the long run. Meanwhile, I think a solution like above will work for us, but I am going to have to rely on Andrew for at least the C++ OOP part of that. Alan __________________________ Alan W.
