Dear plplot-devel,
I attach a patch to fix the mis-alignment of the major axes and grid in the
case of a time-axis ('d' option). This was due to different algorithms being
applied to determine the grid and tick location. In essence, the grid didn't
subtract off the start time.
While fixing this, I also found a small bug in the tick routine for the left
y-axis again in the case of time ('d') option. This was due to a vpwymi instead
of vpwyma at this location. For reasons best known to you, the tick routines
work down the left axis and up the right axis, so the two bits of code are
different.
I attach some code to test this, plus the before and after outputs.
Steve
PS I submitted a separate patch, also to plbox, last week. If it would be
helpful, I can generate a patch that combines both sets of fixes. Both are
patched against svn 12298.
PPS in case someone is confused. My test rig plots y-axes as both a float
representation of the time (which starts at zero and runs several days) and the
plplot time (which starts at t=0 seconds, corresponding to day 001 of the
year). So the two plots don't appear to have the same y-limits but are correct.
PPPS I looked at the minor tick grid option ('h'), which works ok but is absent
in all cases unless the major grid is also requested. I guess this is probably
as intended, but does limit the ability to use different line styles,
thicknesses, and/or colours for the major and minor grid.
