Please add conditional code for which pgplot driver to use, ie /GRX or /XWIN using -D flag in make file #12

Accepted.

Suggest -D so set the default pgplot driver.

But also to getenv PGPLOT_DRV myself so it can be over ridden at runtime.

Note that QP.exe also uses pgplot. Wirh this over riding could create other film formats like Gif?

Note that I ported to pgplot as a quick but desperate workaround when I lost access to a machine with Salford Fortran on.

There is lots of scope for improving eg high resolution, animation etc. Remove black border. Remove text overwriting.

I also think it is due to a port to a different graphics layer as pgplot is no longer being maintained. Note that all I need is basic move to, line to for nationality as Danplot does all its own scaling and clipping. Danplot also does all its own 3d hidden surface removal.

Further on this the CLEARWIN drivers for Salford Fortran are still there and should be tested using the free version of that.

Remember that Danplot was written for that graphics platform. The pgplot version lost several features such as animation etc.
