Hi Tom,

Thanks for your reply.

The attached patch is undoubtedly not perfect, but it seems to work well 
for me. With it I get memory use of about 10MB (vs 1.3 GB without) and 
rendering time of 2 seconds (vs ~40 seconds without).

I'd appreciate it if this or something similar could be incorporated 
into a future plplot release. I'll be happy to do any additional testing 
or whatever else you deem appropriate.

Thanks,

Joe
