Hi, I've written a program for a quite nice overlay GPLOT (see code below). At last I'd like to solve two peculiarities: (1) The data lines look a bit 'edgy'. Is there are trick to get them more smoother (e.g. just like simple elegant and not at all edgy looking lines). I just don't know which button to push e.g. solution, line width, height, or the like. (2) The HAXIS shows only every second 'category' of GROUP. Is there are a command (e.g. similar to 'discrete') to see them all? That's all! Except these two 'beauties' the code runs perfect! Check it out! Thanks a lot in advance! Annette
