I see the Fortran examples [for official MSYS2 package version] are quite different, but I did use the latest. Why were they rewritten?

Hi Walt: The Fortran examples were historically rewritten a long time ago but not any time recently. Therefore, I am virtually positive you are seeing an old version of the PLplot fortran examples because you have accessed an old official MSYS2 package version of PLplot. What happens if you do a general update of your MSYS2 platform following the [MSYS2 instructions for doing that](https://github.com/msys2/msys2/wiki/MSYS2-installation)? My bet is you will then have access to the latest official packaged version of PLplot which is our latest release (5.15.0). By the way, we are normally quite happy with the MSYS2 platform for PLplot. For example, as part of the 5.15.0 pre-release testing, Arjen has had good Fortran (and much other) success on MSYS2 with a PLplot version that he built himself. However, as far as I know he has never tested the official MSYS2 PLplot package there which has been packaged by the principal packager for MSYS2 (alexpux) who is familiar with MSYS2 but not PLplot. So if it turns out that official MSYS2 packaged version of PLplot-5.15.0 does not work, you should prepare a bug report for MSYS2 and revert to using a 5.15.0 version that you built yourself on MSYS2 just to follow closely what Arjen did for his test. And with any luck at all, you should be able to replicate Arjen's Fortran success with that method. Alan __________________________ Alan W.
