Thanks for the feedback David. I think it's fair to say that I stole a
couple of ideas from your TVImage program in the first place. Craig
Markwardt's recent PlotImage update also provided food for thought.

I'll meet you three quarters of the way: I've changed the default margin
to 0.025 normal units when multiple plots are displayed. I've also added
better detection of the display depth. The updated version is available
at

Cheers,
Liam.
