- Where is the *real* place to send comments about, or proposed
- code that implements changes to gnuplot? I have gnuplot 3.1
- and 3.2. 3.2 says bug-gnuplot@ames.arc.nasa.gov, but that
- bounced. 3.1 says pixar!info-gnuplot@sun.com, which didn't
- bounce, but there was no reply to what I thought was a quite
- reasonable pair of suggestions. I'll post them here:
-
- First, I added a "reread" command that says "if you're reading
- a command file (due to a 'load' command), rewind it." This
- is nifty for animation. E.g., I made a command file that
- contains
-
- zrot=(zrot+10)%360
- set view xrot,zrot
- replot
- reread
-
- Minor changes were required in command.c near line 334:
-
- else if (almost_equals(c_token,"rer$ead")) {
- fp = lf_top();
- if (fp != (FILE *)NULL) rewind(fp);
- c_token++;
- }
-
- and misc.c near line 82:
-
- FILE *lf_top();
-
- and line 731:
-
- FILE *lf_top()
- { if (lf_head == (LFS *) NULL) return((FILE *)NULL);
- return(lf_head->fp);
- }
-
-
- Then I noticed that when one is using x11 for the output, the
- plot window doesn't get topped when one plots into it. So I
- added "XMapRaised(dpy, win);" at about line 210 in
- gnuplot_x11.c This puts the plot window on top of the stack,
- but doesn't change the keyboard focus.
