Not sure. > If not, is that capability on the roadmap? We don't have an offical roadmap, but, yes, that is an obvious next step for one of our best and most well-supported device drivers. Qt5 is not available for Debian stable (the platform I run), but it is available for Debian testing (what will turn into the next Debian stable release) and other cutting-edge Linux versons so I agree it would be a good idea for us to get ready for it. Currently I have no idea whether the API changes between Qt4 and Qt5 affect us or not (see the first answer). According to <http://qt-project.org/wiki/Transition_from_Qt_4.x_to_Qt5> the differences should not be huge. So by all means give Qt5 a try (assuming you have access to it). If it works, fine. If not, we would be most interested in any patch you implement to make PLplot build and run without issues against Qt5. Alan __________________________ Alan W.
