This is not the correct fix as __add_datasource__ is looking for a 
prop/val pair with the name ?DataSource. It doesn't however make the 
assumption that the other arguments that are passed are all 
property/value pairs, and in some cases they are.

Trying to generate or error with

plot(1:10,1:10,"LineWidth", 3)

the code works correctly. I then tried a rebuild of voroni.eps with the 
changeset I just sent and the build when find. I'd therefore suggest not 
making the change to __add_datasource__ you suggest..

David
