Huh? What option? There would be two commands. I am not wedded to calling the new one "refresh", but let's go with that for the moment. replot = re-read the data and plot all over again refresh = don't reread the data, but update the plot with new limits+labels+etc If you're typing from the command line, no problem. You just pick whichever of the two commands you want. The issue is what happens under the hood when a mouse operation, in particular zooming, needs to redraw the plot. Does it use "refresh" or does it use "replot"? You've got to be able to tell it that somehow, and that's kind of hard to do without mention the name of the command you want it to use. -- Ethan A Merritt |
