Hi Arjen: I got fed up attempting to source runallDemos.tcl by hand for the plserver and wish cases. I therefore (revision 12744) implemented test targets called test_plserver_runAllDemos and test_wish_runAllDemos to do this automatically. I previously asked you to do this yourself, but I don't mind doing it so you can concentrate on more fundamental issues. Such as the following: :-)
Issues for the test_plserver_runAllDemos target: * Examples 14 and 31 don't work. This is also an issue for test_tk_standard_examples, see comment in bindings/tk/standard_examples.in so there may be no easy solution. Anyhow, you should grey out buttons 14 and 31 in runAllDemos.tcl until these issues are sorted out. * Example 32 deliberately (at least for now) remains unpropagated to any language. Therefore, button 32 should be greyed out as well. * For this plserver case, the page button seems to have no effect. The reason is that the more convenient Enter/CR key is used to move from one page to the next. So for this case the "page" button should be greyed out. If for the wish case it is possible to use the Enter/CR key to move from one page to the next, then probably the page button should be completely removed rather than just greyed out. * The reload button doesn't seem to do anything. Does it actually do something significant behind the scenes that is important but not visible? If not, it should be greyed out or removed. * Please implement a user-option to disable paging. This is consistent with my general request that there should be user control (via some tcl variable they can set) of disabling (or not) of pauses between pages. * The buttons should be made a lot smaller so the fraction of the GUI devoted to the plot area can be a larger fraction of the GUI. * The area of the GUI used for plotting should have an aspect ratio of close to 4 to 3. That particular landscape aspect ratio displays the PLplot examples the best. The plots currently look quite distorted for the present aspect ratio of ~8 to 3 that is used for runAllDemos.tcl. Part of the cause of that is the buttons are currently grabbing half the area of the GUI (see previous issue). Issues for the test_wish_runAllDemos target: * There is only one issue I can demonstrate at the moment which is the recent regression I described for the wish/runAllDemos.tcl case. This bug has to be cleared up before I can look at test_wish_runAllDemos results any further. Alan __________________________ Alan W.
