Re: [racket-dev] separate plot library into gui-requiring and non-gui-requiring

I'm splitting up the plot package today. Stephen: You'll be able to install plot-lib, then (require plot/pict) to get a `plot' function work-a-like that outputs picts instead of snips, or (require plot/bitmap) to get one that outputs bitmaps. You could easily make a plot-no-gui-lib package

Thanks Neil! plot/no-gui sounds fine to me. I'll give it a try after you push. On Wed, Oct 9, 2013 at 12:08 PM, Neil Toronto neil.toro...@gmail.com wrote: I'm splitting up the plot package today. Stephen: You'll be able to install plot-lib, then (require plot/pict) to get a `plot' function

Pushed. Included are the plot/pict and plot/bitmap modules, which export `plot' and `plot3d' work-a-likes. The documentation has the details. The only thing left now is to break the package up. *rolls up sleeves* Neil ⊥ On 10/09/2013 12:10 PM, Stephen Chang wrote: Thanks Neil! plot/no-gui

Short question: Is there a way to separate the gui-requiring parts of plot from the non-gui-requiring parts? Long question: Many people have expressed pleasant surprise with the plot-evaluating ability of the racket pastebin Sam and I are working on. Most of the effort is due to scribble's nice

I think it is worth having a plot/pict or pict/plot library that doesn't depend on racket/GUI/base (or maybe it would be better to disentangle snips). In any case, we have many others such libraries that turn on avoiding racket/gui/base for exactly this reason. Robby On Tuesday, October 8, 2013,
