Phil,
Thank you very much for the help. I will try these edits and see how it
goes.As for specifying the size of the window (as per your last email). I've
shied away from that as it screwed up the splitter windows construction I
had.This suggestion looks like the best route, will let you know how it
works.David

Hi David again
Just to let you know that a way to get the automatic text sizing to
work correctly without specifying an initial size for your window
would be to wait until the window is displayed to call your Plot
routine. You could do this by catching the first resize event or first
paint event and calling Plot at that point.
Or if you wish to manually set text size you should note that
pls->adv() and pls->env() (which calls plsadv()) reset the size to
what plplot thinks is the best. Hence you must do the work of
pls->env() manually. In your case, replace pls->env() with
pls->clear();
pls->vsta();
pls->wind(xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax);
pls->schr(5.0, 1.0);
plbox("bcnst", (PLFLT) 0.0, 0, "bcnstv", (PLFLT) 0.0, 0);
pls->schr(8.0, 1.0);
pls->lab("x", "y", "sin(x)/x");
replacing the values 5.0 and 8.0 witht he size you want your numbers
and labels (in mm).
