With some initial help from me, Andrew has just finished integrating example 17 into our tests. That finishes the work of integrating our existing examples into the tests.
Here is the current example status (determined running "make test" in the installed examples tree) for my Debian testing platform with everything default (e.g., using numpy and Tcl-8.5). I have excluded c++, f77, f95, and perl/pdl from these results because all those bindings were perfect according to this test. java Missing examples : 19 Differing postscript output : Missing stdout : Differing stdout : octave Missing examples : 19 Differing postscript output : 21 Missing stdout : Differing stdout : python Missing examples : 19 Differing postscript output : Missing stdout : Differing stdout : tcl Missing examples : 17 19 Differing postscript output : Missing stdout : Differing stdout : ada Missing examples : Differing postscript output : 17 Missing stdout : Differing stdout : adathick Missing examples : Differing postscript output : 17 Missing stdout : Differing stdout : ocaml Missing examples : 17 Differing postscript output : Missing stdout : Differing stdout : The API exercised by example 19 is not straightforward to implement, but it's been done for Fortran (both f77 and f95) so hopefully somebody will take up this challenge for java, octave, and python. My understanding is that Arjen is working on this issue for Tcl. 17 is missing for Tcl and OCaml, but it should be less of a challenge than implementing the API for 19. My understanding is that Hez is working on OCaml example 17. Jerry has already remarked on the example 17 issue for Ada. Instead of four different legends, the Ada plots show the same (last) legend. Jerry, perhaps it is time to try the Ada lists for some help with this Ada/C interfacing issue? IIRC, octave was perfect before (except for missing ex 19) for me and Andrew's commit messages for example 21 imply that example was previously perfect for him. Thus, I believe the octave issue for example 21 has been recently introduced (with revision 8637). If you look at the first page of the Octave and C plots the random data are quite different. That seems a major clue, but there doesn't seem to be anything obvious in bindings/octave/demos/x21.m that is causing this difference, and I also don't spot anything obvious in the revision 8637 commit. Andrew, could you take a look? Alan __________________________ Alan W.
