Ali, 

as long as you are using Plplot in one thread only, there should be no
problem. Any problems would come from spawning a thread per plot ...
I have seen code fragments in some drivers that take care of the 
multithreaded situation, but not in the Windows driver.

It might be interesting to see how that one behaves in such an
environment.
