First off: thank you (and everyone else) who responded - the responses were very helpful. Next: thanks for the aesthetic advice, but I was just ticking off features of a graph in a high school text book I was looking at. I agree that I'm not gonna want all of them, but I just wanted to see the code for the richest graphic I could think of, and whittle down to reasonableness... Finally: Thanks for the references. Thanks again all, cdj
