Thanks for the advice on macros, Herbert. The solution you give to the lens-fill interaction is most welcome.
Thanks.
However(!), I believe you may have sidestepped just a little. As you can see, I am trying to magnify an element of area. This should *not* look like a rectangle in the magnifier, i.e. the region should extend all the way up to the edge of the glass. I can't see how to do this without strange artefacts appearing in the output.
By the way, I really appreciate the time and expertise you devote to us pstricks users. As a token of that, I have recently purchased your book. For a non-German speaker like me it is a great read, but I have used the summaries and examples countless times. I recommend it to everyone I meet, which means I often get some very strange looks.

yes, that is a bit tricky here. However, I would use
a filling with lines, e.g. fillstyle=vlines; or a color.
And by the way: you shouldn't use macronames with one
letter; LaTeX uses this often for its own.

Subject: [pstricks] behavior of arrows when plotting functions and
scaling

It seems to me that the commands \psline and \psplot have different
behaviors with respect to arrowheads, and I was wondering if there is a
way to correct the behavior of \psplot in this regard. The example I
include below is very simple, but it illustrates the problem I'm having
with something a bit more complex. I would like to use the arrows=<-o
option, but when I scale the units, the arrowheads seem to be slightly
misplaced. (Note: this doesn't seem to happen when the units are left
alone.)
When you compile the example below and magnify a bit, you will see what I
mean. The arrows on the top line are off a bit. (I am trying to write
something for a powerdot presentation, so even though the magnification
may seem insignificant here, it is clear when on the presentation.)
Thank you for your help.
Example:
--------------------
\documentclass{article}
\listfiles
\usepackage{pstricks}
\usepackage{pstricks-add}
\begin{document}
\psset{xunit=.5cm,yunit=.5cm}
\psline[arrows=<-o,linewidth=1pt](0,0)(2,0)
\psplot[arrows=<-o,linewidth=1pt]{0}{2}{1}
\end{document}

plotpoints is set by default to 20. Choose a number of 5
and everything will be okay. Then one line segment has a length
larger than the arrow length, which is the problem here,
when having plotpoints > 10.

\psplot[arrows=<-o,linewidth=1pt,plotpoints=5]{0}{2}{1}

Thanks, Herbert. I hope that in future PSTricks will offer the
possibility of drawing solid mathematical surfaces _without_ any grid.
