Hi Alan, I tried building PLplot with this device (and the new third-party library) turned on on bare Windows, but it fails: - The linker complains about cdImageColorClear() - it does not seem to exist. - The dll directory that is created under Windows does not contain a corresponding dll for the CD library, only an import-library that is empty as far as I can see. I have not had an opportunity yet to examine the source code, but my guess is that for Windows we need to add the proper visibility attributes (dllexport). It is probably not too difficult to add them (after all, we have already done it for other libraries), but it may take me a couple of days - real life taking quite some of my time away.
