Can I get a racket/gui expert's help on Jay's machine's output? There are two issues:

1. I have it render text with an 8 point font. On Jay's Mac, it's too small to be 8 point. Either there's some font scaling or it's erroneously choosing an 8 *pixel* font. How can we tell?

2. The Mac's get-char-width is returning something apparently too big - especially for the tiny font size - which makes all of Jay's plots scrunch up to make room for the Y axis labels. Is this a bug?

I don't know how to work around #1.

For #2, I think I can use get-text-extent with a representative tick label string like "0000000.0".

I've pushed the latest plot2d and plot3d to my github account. I want to
know whether there are any critical differences in output or execution time
among platforms. There shouldn't be any, but it's possible.

Can I get a few volunteers, at least one on Windows and one on Mac, to clone
it and run the test plots?

First, do

    git clone https://github.com/ntoronto/plt-stuff.git

Then do each of

    drracket plt-stuff/plot/tests/plot2d-tests.rkt
    drracket plt-stuff/plot/tests/plot3d-tests.rkt

After running each, copy the entire REPL output (it will contain timing info
and image snips), paste it into a new .rkt file, and save it in the current
directory.

The tests will generate some files (.png, .jpg, .pdf, .svg, etc.) in the
current directory. Zip those and the new .rkt files together, and email them
to me. Write in the email which OS you're running.

Thanks!
Neil
