Thanks everyone. I've also had a look at plotmath.c where bgroup is
defined for "[", "{", "(", "." but not "<". It seems quite trivial to
add it, at first sight, however there is a part that I don't
understand in the RenderDelim routine,
static BBOX RenderDelim(int which, double dist, int draw, mathContext *mc,
pGEcontext gc, pGEDevDesc dd)
{
// [... snipped ...]
case '(':
top = 230; ext = 231; bot = 232; mid = 0;
break;
case ')':
top = 246; ext = 247; bot = 248; mid = 0;
break;
These integer codes make no sense to me, I have no clue which ones I
should use for < and >. As far as I understand these codes might
correspond to extended ascii characters whose boundaries and positions
we want to borrow. Then again, maybe it's something else entirely.
Any hints?
Best wishes,
baptiste
