Thanks, works a treat. While I was at it, following from other 
threads on performance, I've also tweaked my graphs to have one 
pixel/sample and the performance boost is "quite acceptable" ! Not 
only plotting speed, but memory consumption is very significantly 
reduced - down from being touch and go if it would run out with 3/4G 
RAM plus 1G swap to not swapping at all when plotting a stack of 254 
in and 254 out values.

I'm most happy now :-)

Just waiting for the boss to ask why I've got such odd graphing periods !
