Dimitris,

OK, my mistake, sorry.

As to your second question:

> is one line, just like the
> Plot(StrToNum(NumToStr(L)),"Moving Line",4,1);

No caveats but it simply does not make sense to do this unnecessary conversion
that takes additional time. StrToNum( NumToStr( array) ) is essentially (in pseudo - C):

char buffer[ 50 ];
sprintf( buffer, "%g", SelectedValue( array ) );
number = atof( buffer );

It just takes longer.

SelectedValue is all that is needed and just what should be used in this place.

Also selectedvalue function was here since version 4.10 so it is advised
to use (where possible) functions that are present in earlier versions to allow
the users of old versions to run the formula.

Best regards,
Tomasz Janeczko
