- X11 changes for gnuplot 3.3
- ---------------------------
-
- Enhancements
- ------------
-
- o VMS X11 support (Jehavi Bourvine)
-
- o New X11 rendering for 'points' plotting style improves point
- quality and eliminates the 'X11' terminal type whose only
- function was to request multi-colored points. (Russell Lang)
-
- o tailorable linewidths, dash styles, and point sizes (see
- the man page)
-
- o Color handling:
-
- - "colorname,intensity" where 0 < intensity < 1
- For example, 'blue,.5' means a half intensity blue
-
- - hexadecimal RGB colors accepted (needed for HP VUE)
-
- - Failure to parse/allocate a color defaults to black
- for that color rather than monochrome for whole plot
-
- o 'set term x11' assumed if '-display' option on command line.
-
- Bug Fixes
- ---------
-
- o On monochrome servers, any lines plotted before the first label
- was printed were lost. This lost zero axes and garbled some
- other plots. (Kenneth H. Carpenter)
-
- o User specified geometry position ignored with some window managers.
- Negative positions miscalculated. (Mike Coleman)
-
-
- Vendor Botch Circumventions
- ---------------------------
-
- o New X11FLAGS options:
-
- - OW_BOTCH circumvents "ld.so: Undefined symbol: __XtInherit"
- loader errors on Sun Open Windows platforms. (Vivek Khera)
-
- - ISC22 circumvents select() problem with ISC2.2 (Robert Eckardt)
-
- - BSD_TYPES pulls select FD_SET definitions from <sys/bsdtypes.h>
- (Michael Herrmann)
-
- - ULTRIX_KLUDGE expanded to circumvent missing demo plots at
- Ultrix 4.1 (chan@holo.iitsg.nrc.ca)
-
- o Random window geometry with Esix X11R3 (Al Bolduc)
-
-
- Miscellaneous
- -------------
-
- o The man page has been updated to document that background and
- foreground are not honored for monochrome displays, only -rv
- and 'gnuplot*reverseVideo:on'.
-
- o '-tvtwm' command line option and gnuplot*tvtwm resource
-
- Mike Coleman's fix for user-specified geometry position for
- other window managers causes tvtwm to use absolute rather
- then virtual-relative coordinates when the user specifies
- geometry. This command line option and resource tells
- gnuplot_x11 to use PPosition (virtual-relative) when a
- geometry position is requested.
-
- Unfortunately, negative y positions are off by the size of the
- window manager title bar. Thus, for example, -0-20 rather than
- -0-0 is needed to place the lower right corner of the window
- at the lower right corner of the screen.
