XWin-Plot Questions

Hi all,

I've been trying to get people to switch over to XWinPlot as opposed
to the regular plotting routine in XWinNMR. (for some reason I have to
reinstall the printer about once/week due to someone's faulty parameter
set????) I've run into several stumbling blocks, however. I know that
people can plot with the layout in edo by typing autoplot, but is there
a way for a user to define the plot limits without having to go into
XWinPlot? The other major issue is with integral trails. Although I
haven't officially heard of it as a bug, I find it hard to believe that
one would want to have just integral trails without the integral values,
which is the only option possible using the check boxes under the edit
popup menu. I can (sometimes) get around that with putting absurd
numbers into the integral trail dimensions box (switching numbers
around, setting them to 1e200 and so on) but that only solves the
problem if the user does not expand the plot. (they come back!!) I
welcome any suggestions tips/tricks or personal FAQs people have on
XWinPlot, including comments from those of you who are adamantly against
using XWinPlot and why. Thanks for your input.
