Re: [Plplot-devel] Solar eclipse coming for North America in 4 days!

Just to add a few cents' worth here, there are excellent resources at: http://www.eclipse2017.org/ concerning where, when, what, how. While I would echo Alan's enthusiasm that being prepared and seeing a partial eclipse is better than missing it altogether, I'd also echo the comment on the

Re: [Plplot-devel] Binary distribution

Alan Apologies for top-posting (from my phone). There is a potential snag in your approach which is that the build-projects wrapping of a project's own autotools/whatever is only as good as that project's build strategy. Good, relatively small projects are probably ok. I've read tales of woe

Re: [Plplot-devel] Binary distribution?

Alan, Arjen, et al., I have been following this thread, and the parallel ones re Cygwin build and also build_project, with some interest. We ship a binary Windows version of our QSAS software (which includes the Qt libraries and a somewhat stripped-down version of plplot which only drives our

[Plplot-devel] patch to plbox to fix time-axis grid

Dear plplot-devel, I attach a patch to fix the mis-alignment of the major axes and grid in the case of a time-axis ('d' option). This was due to different algorithms being applied to determine the grid and tick location. In essence, the grid didn't subtract off the start time. While fixing

[Plplot-devel] Bugs in plbox - label_box re exponential labels

Dear All, Many moons ago I started a discussion which ended up with the provision of plslabelfunc to allow user control of axis labelling, including positioning of the separate exponential string. It turns out that code works fine for the horizontal (x) axis, but not for the vertical (y) axis.

Re: [Plplot-devel] Greek characters in qt-driver

Hi Alan Ok as I suspected it is a qt issue and I agree that the qt3 Oct 2010, at 21:01, dabergs...@comcast. guys mostly make positive improvements - although the migration of our code from Qt3 to Qt4 was far from painless. Since we bundle plplot with our software and deal with a variety of

Re: [Plplot-devel] control position of floating point label

Hez, This would seem to address everything except what I started this thread to query, namely more control over the placement of the separate exponent label when scientific notation is used for labelling. Looking a bit into the code, the placement of this string is hard-wired into the

Re: [Plplot-devel] time

Alan I think your approach is perfectly sensible. After all, the original motivation for building qsastime was to avoid the idiosynchracies (sp?) of C time handling. Now, of course, it will also handle times from the beginning to the end of time as we know it (more or less) which is a

Re: [Plplot-devel] Time calculation in Ada example 29

Alan, If I may be allowed to widen this discussion from Ada to time, I still think there are underlying issues that should at least be discussed. As I said a few weeks back, we have a vested interest in this matter because time plays a critical element in data from spacecraft, and because we
