Dear S+ users,

Could somebody say me if there is some remedy to the following S+2000 (+W98
/ 64MB) behaviour:

Having plotted one single graphsheet with four pages using "barchart" calls,
I tried to modify the text of the x-label of a page (converting graph to
objects and inserting a single character from another font).  This action
had the following effects:

- in a first time, the plotted points sizes on this page were all reduced
(points were plotted with the 'pch' parameter);
- when I tried to do the same kind of manipulation on another page of the
graph, all the graphsheet pages loosed most of their components and their
objects became unaccessible.

I encountered the same kind of behaviour with S+ 4.5 (+ W98 / 64MB).

Should the use of editable graphics features be avoided for trellis graphs
or in general for graphs containing a large number of objects?
Should an increase in memory solve the problem?

I never use the editable graphics features, preferring a full command line
approach when it answers my needs.  I know that PostsScript printing would
solve my problem (cf. the S+ list).  As I do not have access to such a color
printer, I tried this time to edit the graphs interactively but with no
success.

Any hint?

Thanks.
