I don't know much about the Hershey fonts, but I thought that the codes were predefined so that "590" would always be the same Hershey symbol. Is that not true? IOW, are the PGPLOT (or PLplot) Hershey codes specific to PGPLOT (or PLplot) rather than to Hershey fonts in general? Here's what I think PGPLOT uses for the underscore's "coordinates"... Bounding box... miny, baseliney, maxy, minx, maxx = [-16, -9, 12, -9, 10] Stroke (in same coordinate frame as bounding box)... x1, y1, x2, y2 = [-9, -11, 9, -11] Dave ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
