P.S. German, mail delivery from plplot-general is not working very well. Thus, I never got Maurice's response to your initial post and only realized he had responded from one of your later e-mails that quoted his response.
He is the expert on plrender. From his reply it appears my mental model of plrender is not correct, and it is much lower level than I thought. The fundamental issue is that -dev plmeta has fallen into disuse so volunteers have not stepped forward to fix it. Anyhow, since the issue you found is a known long-standing problem with plrender, it is clearly a "would-be-nice" fix rather than a showstopper for our next release, and using other devices directly is the preferred option now. To answer your question about -dev psc, I can use the -ori, -a, and -portrait options with with no problems. For example, I get the expected results using ./x01c -dev psc -portrait -o test.ps Do you? (Note ./x01c is one of the installed examples which you should be able to find in $prefix/share/plplot5.7.4/examples/c after you run the "make install" command. $prefix is the installation prefix you set with the cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX option.) Once you can confirm portrait success for the installed examples, then copy their style for your own examples. Alan __________________________ Alan W.
