As of revision 11247 I have propagated the pllegend API to python just to prove that I could do so. Because my python swig skills are rusty it was a bit of a struggle dealing with the char ** text array because we had not dealt with that type before with swig. Those who eventually propagate pllegend to Java and Lua (and probably other languages) should be aware that this type is going to cause you some extra work.
As a result of my propagation work, I now get consistent results for python and C for both examples 4 and 26. Others may also want to propagate pllegend to their favorite languages at this time. However, you should be aware that once Hez and Andrew have propagated pllegend to OCaml and Octave and compared its capabilities with the older legend capabilities for those languages, we might get some suggested changes in the pllegend API out of those comparisons. If those changes actually occur I am willing to modify my python propagation accordingly, but others may want to wait to propagate pllegend until we get feedback from Hez and Andrew on their experiences with pllegend for OCaml and Octave. We also need a volunteer to create an initial version of plcolorbar functionality in our core C library to complement the current discrete pllegend functionality. Hez, would you also be willing/able to take a shot at this? Alan __________________________ Alan W.
