Hi Bill, When I wrote the Ada bindings I changed most of the names and assigned names and/or structures to many quantities which are otherwise known only as integer values. See plplot.ad[bs]. For example, plscol0 becomes Set_Pen_Color. There is an additional binding which uses the traditional names, plplot_traditional.ad[bs]. (.ads files, "specs," are a little like C header files. .adb files, "body," are the implementation part.)

My 2 cents, and I doubt I'm alone. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Start uncovering the many advantages of virtual appliances and start using them to simplify application deployment and accelerate your shift to cloud computing. http://p.sf.net/sfu/novell-sfdev2dev _______________________________________________ Plplot-general mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/plplot-general
