Thanks Greg
Yes I did mean function graphics!
The actual plot I am doing has six figures in the same window (each panel contains about 200 lines) and it takes several minutes to render this using function graphics on my Linux machine. Looks like for this plot at least I will have to revert to direct graphics.
Cheers
