Hi folks, I usually don't do version announcements, but several people have requested things that are in this version (2.1). Prominent among these are that soil.texture has inflated into yet another general triangle plot function (triax.plot), the dreaded shadow effect has materialized, pie3D has lost a couple of bugs and by a sequence of improbable coincidences another wind rose plot is airborne, this one in the Australian style. As always, please tell me where I've blown it, for your comments have often gotten me on a better tack. Jim
