I guess what I say now is "duh".  But when I do "plplot Ada", google
gets pretty vague.

With your suggestion, I downloaded plplot5.8 and had a look.  There's
quite a lot of C there, and I'm pretty C-averse. (I managed to avoid
learning it for work for 30-odd years, so I'll just continue like
that.)

I want to keep a limit on how much graphics I have to think about, so
plplot is more than I'll pursue.  I'm glad you showed it to me and I
hope you'll continue to make it into a successful product.
