I finished the internal change to pllegend so that clipping occurs at subpage boundaries and not viewport boundaries. The only thing beyond that I plan for pllegend is documentation. Also, after the release I plan refinements to plstrl (which is called by pllegend to align the background), but that is entirely separate project and nothing to do with the pllegend API. Thus, I think pllegend is ready for prime time, but the API needs review by somebody else before we propagate. I have asked Hez for such a review since he is keen on the API question. It's important to finish that review before the release for obvious reasons. Furthermore, if that review is completed early (today, Monday, would be ideal) rather than later this week, then we have a chance to propagate pllegend before the release and test all those propagated changes. Otherwise, we should probably wait until after the release to avoid any substantial untested PLplot changes just before the release. Alan __________________________ Alan W.
