Hi Alan, I tried your changes and while the results are excellent I do have a few remarks: - I tested on bare Windows (XP) and therefore the build did not create a subdirectory xwin. "make test_tcl_standard_examples" failed therefore! - Running it manually with an interactive device (wingcc) so that I could see the plots (clicking the spacebar to get to the next) worked fine - up to example x20. This example did display the graphs, but very quickly only - as did all the other ones, due to "plspause 0"
So we have a small issue at hand: interactive devices should be dealt with in a different way than non-interactive ones like ps. Perhaps a command-line option? Meanwhile I will implement a small trickery to the standard_examples, so that you can run them as: pltcl standard_examples too (the shebang line does not work under bare Windows).
