Nope - I just changed my program to use the vector drawn fonts, and setting
noclip=0 in the call to XYOUTS behaves as expected - labels that would fall
outside the plotting window are not plotted. It's only when I include font=0
in the call that the noclip=0 keyword has no effect, i.e. labels outside the
plotting window are plotted anyway.
