Hello James,
You put a smile on my face. I am very happy to know that you are porting
your work on Xcos!
These days, you may experience some issues with Xcos graphics because we
merged some important changes in the main branch but it should be
quickly back to normal!
Let me know when I can test your work!
Cheers,
Sylvestre
