Alan, Sorry, I think Johan and I worked through this off-list. The problem arose because the plinit_cairo function in the OCaml bindings creates a new plot stream using plmkstrm. Therefore, any PLplot configuration applied before plinit_cairo will have no effect on the newly created plot because they were acting on a different plot stream. I wrote the code this way to make it easier to have multiple, independent plot streams in a single program (GUI or otherwise). I committed a change to PLplot trunk (revision 11191) which adds the ability for a user to specify anything they would like to run after the new stream is created but before plinit is called. The most common use for this would be for things like setting a custom background color or calling plparseopts to apply options from PLplot's command line arguments. I hope this makes sense. This functionality was already in the core OCaml bindings but I had not added this support to the OCaml + PLplot + Cairo module until this commit.
