[Plplot-devel] Update of the Wiki: obsolete information?

2017-10-02 Thread Arjen Markus
Hi Alan, others, I have updated the Wiki page on the status of PLplot for the Windows platforms. I noticed however that we list information about the Borland and Open Watcom compilers, as well as the CGM device. I have not seen any mention of the two compilers or of the CGM device for many ye

Hi Phil: In response to your remarks on the bug tracker for bug 173, I would like to discuss this a bit more on plplot-devel with you, and once I get a full education on this wxwidgets gradient subject from you I might add a further comment to bug 173 on the bug tracker for future reference (if a

I think I see how this works now. Basically the example plots to both streams then execution halts while it waits for the page to advance on the "master" plot. But this isn't specifically due to coms between any of the streams, it is simply because without setting plspause(0) execution hangs until

Alan I have made a quick couple of changes that makes locate work correctly again with wxWidgets by simply halting checking for new data while doing a locate, then starting again when locate is complete. However I don't want to commit anything that may clash with any changes that you are making. L

Hi Phil: I just ran examples/c/x17c -dev wxwidgets for the HEAD of master (commit 124a0c3), and I very much like that that commit implements "interactive" look for the new wxwidgets device as illustrated by this example. However, the rendering is slow (i.e., 2.5 minutes) compared to the similar
