Hi Chris,
that worked brilliantly. Thanks.
Question:
when I set:
p.color = 'red' or whatever else...
shouldn't the plot procedure only replot if p.color ne 'red'? In other words, only update a property if this property is different from the previously set property.
This would save quite some time and there would be no need for the refresh, /disable option.

Or is this not that easy?

Cheers,
Helder
