Hans, You have identified an issue here with the current geometry handling by plplot. Firstly, it assumes that offsets of 0,0 mean no offset has been set so you can't use +0+0. Secondly, the code always looks for +, and so negative offsets can't be specified. I _think_ things like +-10+0 should work, but it doesn't seem to. Only xwin and wingcc actually use these offsets, so it seems a bit perverse not to support the usual X options.
