Hi Hǎiliàng: "there is no plan to change" is a literally correct summation of what I said before, but I also emphasize now (if it wasn't clear before) I would like to see such a plan developed because integer widths for plwid are just too much of an API limitation these days. I think what we should do is deprecate plwid(PLINT width) and write a new function declared as void plwidth(PLFLT width); I will contine this discussion further on the PLplot development list.
