Multiplot would not exist without the assistance of others similar in magnitude to that you are offering. On a tangential note, could an agglomeration of PD writers get together and take out patents on basic coding techniques to prevent perversion of the industry by loonies who try to patent X-hairs etc. The association could be self funding by collecting royalties from only commercial users of the methods. A few I've dreamed up are: Patent App No Technique AB51LL1 Use of the keyword main() in C code AB51ll2 Use of logical branches including if, while, do, etc AB51LL3 Use of dynamic memory allocation AB51LL4 Command line driven user interfaces There must be lots more.
