Very good.

For the plots that I have been using lately, fltk plotting (current 
dev)  has been working
well. Lots of improvements.  I would say that plotting seems close to 
ready for the upcoming
3.8 release.

I have thought of a couple of, probably longer term, items:

1. As has been discussed, the requirement of single precision in OpenGL
   will someday require rescaling of the data so that the double range
   is mapped to fit.

2. Every now and then I notice that the choices of options in the plot 
window
    menu bar could be expanded.  The current choices were, I think, sort of
    a "proof of concept."  An obvious addition would be a "print" 
button. This
    should get some review to decide what is important/appropriate,...

Anyhow, thanks for resolving the subplot item.
