PGPLOT changes in Version 5.0.1
This version corrects several minor bugs; corrects a serious error in
PGGRAY; adds functionality to the X window driver; adds a new driver
for X window dump files.
- pgplot
- aaaread.me
- Split into files aaaread.me, install.txt, whatsnew.txt, changes.txt.
- drivers.list
- Add warning that use of GIDRIV may require a license. Add
/WD and /VWD (X-window dump files). Add comments to
discourage people from trying to use PC drivers on UNIX systems.
Revise /VERS and /VVERS.
- makehtml
- New perl script now generates syntactically correct html with
cross-references [Diab Jerius].
- makemake
- Add instructions for SVdriv and WDdriv. Make it work with bash as
well as sh. No longer makes pgplot.html by default. Remove VVdriv.
- pgplot/drivers
- gidriv.f
- Avoid integer overflow (caused driver to crash on VAX/VMS).
Add warning that use of this driver may require a license
from Unisys.
- tfdriv.f
- Correct error in usage of GRFMEM.
- svdriv.c, svblock.c
- Restored from v4.9H (note: this driver for SunView is
no longer supported: use XWdriv instead).
- vedriv.f
- Merge landscape and portrait modes in one driver.
- vvdriv.f
- Deleted.
- wddriv.f
- New file: generates X-window dump file [Scott Allendorf].
- xwdriv.c, pgxwin_server.c
- Fixes to datatypes of properties: corrects bugs found on Cray
and Dec-Alpha (OSF/1). Support for all visual types, including
TrueColor. Ability to set different attributes for each window
via X resources. On VMS, checks that pgxwin_server has E or R
access.
- x2driv.c, figdisp_comm.c
- Suppress warning messages produced by DECC compiler.
- bcdriv.f, ccdriv.f, hjdriv.f, ladriv.f, ljdriv.f, todriv.f, txdriv.f
- Eliminate use of routine gribf1.
- pgplot/examples
- pgdemo2.f
- Add a test of an invisible polygon.
- pgplot/fonts
- aaaread.me
- Note that pgunpack and pgdchar are unsupported.
- pgplot/src
- grcurs.f
- Correct bug: start new picture if necessary.
- grldev.f
- Change ``Legal PGPLOT device types are:'' to ``Device types
available:''.
- grmker.f
- Fix bug: viewport grew as symbols were plotted!
- pgband.f, pgcurs.f
- Issue message if device is not open.
- pggray.f, grgray.f
- PGGRAY now uses a color ramp between the colors assigned
to color index 0 (background) and color index 1 (foreground).
This should restore the old behavior: the ramp runs from black
to white on devices with black background and white foreground,
and from white to black on devices with white background and
black foreground.
- pgpage.f
- If this routine detects that the size of the view surface has
been changed (e.g., by a workstation window manager), it now
rescales the viewport in proportion. Formerly the size of the
viewport (in absolute units, e.g., mm) was not changed and so
the viewport might extend outside the view surface. This only
affects programs that do not reset the viewport for each page.
- pgpoly.f, grpocl.f
- Correct bug: an invisible polygon generated a spurious
error message.
- pgqcs.f, pglen.f, pgqvsz.f
- Fix minor formatting errors in header comments.
- pgqinf.f
- Change version to 5.0.1.
- pgslw.f, pgqlw.f, grslw.f
- Correct header comments (line width unit is 0.005 inch).
- pgplot/sys
- gribf1.f
- Deleted (also system-dependent variants).
- grfileio.c
- Add O_TRUNC to cause truncation when an existing file is
overwritten.
- pgplot/sys_convex
- fc_cc.conf
- Added -lX11.
- pgplot/sys_cray
- aaaread.me
- Removed note about /XWIN: it now works.
- grfileio.c
- add O_TRUNC to cause truncation when an existing file is overwritten.
- pgplot/sys_linux
- aaaread.me
- New file: note that many drivers cannot be compiled; note about
disabling backslash interpretation.
- f77_gcc.conf
- Corrected to use ranlib, and revised list of libraries.
- pgplot/sys_next
- pgview/PGView.m
- [Allyn Tennant] Correct resize bar.
- af77_src/grfileio.c
- add O_TRUNC to cause truncation when an existing file is
overwritten.
- pgplot/sys_sol2
- aaaread.me
- Added warning about non-ANSI C compilers.
- pgplot/sys_sun
- aaaread.me
- Added note about SunView driver.
- pgplot/sys_vms
- build.com
- Add PGQITF, PGSITF, PGPANL to transfer vector.
- grfileio.c
- Suppress warning messages produced by DECC compiler.
Add O_TRUNC to cause a new version of the file to be created
instead of overwriting (usual VMS behavior).
- grlgtr.f
- Convert supplied string to uppercase before attempting to
translate it as a logical name.
- make_demos.com
- Correct comment.
- make_font.com
- Change protection of grfont.dat.
