/* This file belongs to both libplot and libplotter.  It contains a
   function that appears in both the old (non-thread-safe) C and C++
   bindings.  It is named pl_parampl() and parampl(), respectively.

   pl_parampl/parampl sets parameters in a global PlotterParams object,
   which is used as a source of parameters when any Plotter is created.
   The presence of this global state is one reason why the old API's are
   not thread-safe.

   In libplotter, parampl is a static function member of the Plotter class,
   as is the global PlotterParams.  This is arranged by #ifdef's in
   extern.h.

   In both libplot and libplotter, the pointer to the global PlotterParams,
   which is called _old_api_global_plotter_params, is defined in
   g_defplot.c. */
