Just to point out that if you need to configure plplot on a machine without any physical X display then you can always use the xvfb X server which provides a dumb framebuffer using virtual memory. This is what the Debian build does on the build machines precisely to get round this tk problem. A

Hi Alan I thought I had the CMake script for the new wxWidgets driver sorted. Everything built and ran as it was supposed to on my home Ubuntu machine. However Ihave just tried on my work CentOS machine and when I try to run the viewer process I get the following error wxPLViewer: error while loa

Hi All The basic redesigned wxWidgets driver with wxWidgets display being performed in a separate process is nearly ready. I am aware that we currently do not have the file/shared memory interface ready yet, so I have just implemented a rather quick minimal shared memory routine that shares the buf

Hi Alan, You are right - it seems an almost trivial change, but it does have a large effect. I will not be pursuing that for the coming release, as there is enough on my plate already :). Of course, one comes across such issues when going through all the interfaces, like I am doing now. Re

Hi Phil, Alan, I like the idea of a PLTIMEFLT type, it expresses precisely what the variable is intended to be – it is not just a raw double. There would not be an actual incompatibility, just a refinement. Regards, Arjen From: Phil Rosenberg [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tu

I am more inclined to agree with Arjen. A time interface, without the ability to represent time to the accuracy we display it is to my mind a bug. Perhaps if the idea of a raw double doesn't appeal, then a PLTIMEFLT define would be more in keeping with the current style. Phil -Original Mes
