Thanks Bill.. I did just that and got some satisfactory results. A question
on direct manipulation. I noticed that when a user performs direct
manipulation on values that places the new value outside the plot box
(indeed outside the entire graph&axes) the values are still plotted. I'm
assuming this is a bug? Or is this something that a simple flag I have not
set somewhere might address?
Thanks again...
Brandon
