Thanks to Sundar and Prof. Ripley. It was a false alarm. It's
just hard to tell that lwd and lty are being respected in the
printed output. We have a HP4050 Laserjet. I used "print to
File" in the print dialog to write to a ps file and look at it
in Gsview. I had to magnify it quite a bit to be able to tell
That lty=2 and 3 are dashes and dots. Also, as Sundar said,
lwd is only apparent when several values are used on the same
plot.
Cheers,
Andy
