And what, may I ask, is pressures.o2?

pressures is a structure containing the partial pressures for O2, N2 and He that Robert created to form the basis of the ceiling and deco calculations. I think it is a pretty useful concept. entry->o2pressure is the original variable used before most of these development took place and, as far as I can gather, is still the one used by Qt for plotting. After version 4.3 we should look at closer integration between between entry->o2pressure and pressures, allowing us to eliminate that particular parameter in the call to fill_pressures(). So my suggestion in this case is: for 4.3 do not mess with something that works because this will probably require some action on the Qt side to get things 100% consistent, utilising pressures for plot data. Right now there are bigger fish to fry.
Kind regards,
