Earlier today many of the suggestions in this thread worked quite well.
However, now all of them now do not work and I get this message.  What have
I changed that would cause that error?

|domain error: script | CONSOLEOUTPUT=:((

Subject: Re: [Jprogramming] Colouring dots in plot

Ric, thank you for this. Defining a palette in the _z_ locale is just the
ticket. I shall explore colorxy_jzplot_. There are no obstacles in my way
now to some very useful data visualisation.

J602 has worked a treat, allowing me to develop software which analyses and
reports on 80 MB sets of data. My client wanted me to do it in Python but
content themselves that they can rewrite it in Python if they need to since
I have described the analysis procedure in some detail.

The success of the project is giving me a buzz.

Many thanks for your help.

Graham
