Sorry to play devil's advocate here, but the question remains -- MPL developers (John, primarily, I suppose): Why not dump MPL1, and work on a nice pylab-like front end to Chaco, while giving the "love" to the Kiva PS, PDF, SVG back-ends (and add GTK -- if it's not there)? Most users, like me, just want something that does the job for us. I know I'm going to take a look at Chaco again. Add the skills of the MPL team to Chaco, and it could really shine! -Chris -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer Emergency Response Division NOAA/NOS/OR&R (206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
