Negate option function, bound to `C-c C-n'. • `C-c C-h' with no response goes to Commands menu. Transparent toolbar icons. Replace kw-compl with a simple completion function. Put gnuplot-toolbar code in gnuplot.el. • Send file uses the load command. add `gnuplot-plot-from-comint' and `gnuplot-save-and-plot-from-comint' and keybindings in the comint buffer. do `(process-kill-without-query gnuplot-process nil)'. `gnuplot-negate-option' checks if set option has a negated form. • `gnuplot-kill-gnuplot-buffer' made more robust. fixed a bug in `gnuplot-plot-from-comint'. fixed description of gnuplot-faces group. • Update copyright information, update gpelcard • Change installation materials. Add some support for hidden3d. Use constants in types alists in gui. Various other minor improvements to the types alists. • Removed `gnuplot-which-highlight' variable and revamped how colorization gets turned on. This is a bit tricky since I want it to work with font-lock under emacs and xemacs and with hilit19. • Insert space at end of unique completion. add a few GUI types, rewrite some stuff in the GUI interface. primitive support for plot, splot, and fit. Fixed completion in file widget. • Add `pgnuplot.c' and Win9x install instructions to the distribution. Fixed a defface bug. Added `gnuplot-keywords-when' allowing deferral of parsing the info file. • Fixed font-locking of strings and comments. Figure out `gnuplot-version' number from startup message and set `gnuplot-echo-command-line-flag' accordingly. Added `gnuplot-program-version' variable. Check that font-lock is actually a feature. • Added `gnuplot-determine-gnuplot-version' so that the gnuplot version number and `comint-process-echos' actually get set correctly. Actually, the first time something is plotted, the echoing might not work, but the second time it will. • Once again changed how `comint-process-echos' gets set. Maybe I got it right this time? Also fixed certain situations where the info file did notget properly loaded (insertion with info toggle on and info button in GUI). • Do a more robust check for the gnuplot process before killing the gnuplot buffer. … …
