For sure - I think there's no question that having pre-plot clearing as an option is the way to go. The real question is what the default should be which IMHO comes down to what would be the most common usage pattern. I may be completely wrong here but I would expect that most people using plplot are plotting data of some kind for analysis and/or publication. In this situation one rarely if ever puts such plots over the top of an image. If the "blank background" case is the most common usage it makes a case for clearing to be the default with an option to turn it off for those who do in fact need to prepare a background prior to plotting. I shall now wait for democracy to take its course. :-) Regards jonathan ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.
