Hello,
I think that PLPlot is a great tool. Thanks to the developers for
their hard work. I'm using PLPlot in order to draw worldmaps with
coastlines. I'm using plfill, plline and plmap functions and I find
they very useful. Nevertheless I have some minor problems (I'm using
PLPlot 5.9.7 compiled by me on a Debian GNU/Linux Sid).

Using plfill I obtain a the message

*** PLPLOT WARNING ***
plfill: too many points in polygon

using polygons with 1000 vertices. Can I change the maximum number of
vertices at runtime or must I recompile the library?

I'm using the coastlines from
http://rimmer.ngdc.noaa.gov/mgg/coast/getcoast.html that are
downloaded in ascii files with NaN indicators between each piece of
land. I can see that plfill and plline needs that the x and y arrays
contains data without "holes" (separators)

I think it would be useful that plfill and plline could work with
arrays containing some "labels", for example NaN values (0.0/0.0 in
C), in order to manage several independent polygons or lines as, for
example, coastlines downloaded from
http://rimmer.ngdc.noaa.gov/mgg/coast/getcoast.html
Maybe it would be interesting that plmap or other similar new function
could load a coastline file, not only the internal of PLPlot. This
files could fe in the ascii format as from
http://rimmer.ngdc.noaa.gov/mgg/coast/getcoast.html

Thanks
