Hi Jim I added this as I need access to that functionality from wxPLViewer. I saw it as a temporary measure until all the plmeta stuff you were working on was finalised. Ideally it would be a function in the API, however that requires a change to all the language bindings, whereas with an escape command it can be accessed via the plcmd function.
I agree that this is a bit of a dirty hack, but something like this is unfortunately required to enable the viewer to pass a raw buffer into the library. I will however look at plbuf_switch to see if that can be used instead.
