In a related vein, if you have never seen the famous Linus vs. Tanenbaum debate you should really give it a read --
http://groups.google.com/groups?thre...0star.cs.vu.nl
I wonder if Tanenbaum has changed his mind about the design decisions of Linux since 1992? Obviously his arguments about micro vs. mono-lithic kernels have not hindered the development of Linux.

plsdidev
PLSDIDEV(3plplot) PLplot API PLSDIDEV(3plplot)
NAME
plsdidev - Set parameters that define current device-space window
SYNOPSIS
plsdidev(mar, aspect, jx, jy)
DESCRIPTION
Set relative margin width, aspect ratio, and relative justification that define current device-space window. If you want to just use the
previous value for any of these, just pass in the magic value PL_NOTSET. It is unlikely that one should ever need to change the aspect
ratio but it's in there for completeness. If plsdidev(3plplot) is not called the default values of mar, jx, and jy are all 0. aspect is set
to a device-specific value.
Redacted form: plsdidev(mar, aspect, jx, jy)
This function is used in example 31.
ARGUMENTS
mar (PLFLT, input)
Relative margin width.
aspect (PLFLT, input)
Aspect ratio.
jx (PLFLT, input)
Relative justification in x. Value must lie in the range -0.5 to 0.5.
jy (PLFLT, input)
Relative justification in y. Value must lie in the range -0.5 to 0.5.
