Tom (and others),
The default for subs.makeDisplay() is to make a black background, and white 
foreground. Perusing the docs doesn't seem to allow any change to this. Is 
there another way to do this from Jython? White on black is certainly easy 
on the eyes when looking at a computer monitor, but difficult to work with 
on paper, since you can't write on the figures, and they don't incorporate 
well into publications. Ideally, I'd have a white background, with black 
foreground.
Thanks,
-Frank
