you mean, under the last one? (which makes sense, since they're drawn in  
creation order)

you mean the print coming from the vertex struct, giving the individual y  
values of each scalar in the array? that's a bit strange, never seen it.  
trying to adapt plot's help file doesn't replicate the behavior as well.

hmm, am not really understanding what you mean. but I have to work on  
something else right now, can't do much more for the time being.
