Apologies for the extreme delay in responding. The documentation does imply that pladv() should do this. However the only way that I can get it to (sort of) work is to call pladv() to go to the requested sub-page, then call plenv0(). However this also clears the plot so you would have to replay everything that you previously drew. What is your goal? Do you want N plots on a single page that are updating in real time? best, -Hazen ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Plplot-general mailing list Plplot-general@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/plplot-general
