Subject: [cl-plplot-devel] current plotting stream is likely corrupted
Message-ID: <78157.38328.qm@web50011.mail.re2.yahoo.com>

Is there a quick way to get the ball rolling again if one encounters the error below?  The plplot documentation suggests that calling c-plend (or c-plend1) should clean things up but they don't seem to do much.

PLplot error encountered (Too many tries.). The current plotting stream is likely corrupted.
   [Condition of type SIMPLE-ERROR]

Thanks for any suggestions/help,

Alan

PS It's probably worth noting that this is my first encounter with CFFI
stuff and (from the lack of messages on this mailing list...) I'm
guessing I'm missing something relatively straightforward...

Once you've hit this message you pretty much have to write off the  
current plot. Are you having problems starting another plot? If you  
have a test case I'd be happy to take a look.

Actually, you are the first person to write to this list.

Ok. For what it is worth, the actual error message from the PLplot  
library is inside the () brackets, i.e. "Too many tries.", the rest  
is just cl-plplot wrapper. That particular message seems to come from  
(1) PLplot trying and failing to open a file or (2) The user failing  
to properly enter a integer / number when prompted for one at the  
command line.
