Thank you for trying out the new release! plcolorbar is still in development as of 5.9.8 and not considered to be supported or ready for everyday use. The C API for plcolorbar is not fully tested and may change. We expect the plcolorbar API to be stable and fully documented by the time 5.9.9 is released. plcolorbar should also be propagated to PLplot's other supported programming languages and used in the standard PLplot examples at that time. Because plcolorbar is unsupported, if its signature changes then PLplot may have an API change without a corresponding shared object version change. For this reason, plcolorbar from 5.9.8 should not be used for anything beyond testing and initial evaluation of the API. If you want to test plcolorbar before PLplot 5.9.9 your best reference will be a combination of the plcolorbar source code and comments (src/pllegend.c in the 5.9.8 source distribution) and the plcolorbar portion of C's example 33 (examples/c/x33c.c). If you do take the time to try plcolorbar in this way, we would be happy to have your feedback. I hope this helps, Hez ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ BlackBerry® DevCon Americas, Oct. 18-20, San Francisco, CA The must-attend event for mobile developers.
