Hi Matthew: Can you show me where the problems were so I can fix the POD
in both the PDL/git for Graphics/PLplot/plplot.pd and in my CPAN version?
Thanks,

In PLplot.pod I see some code blocks which are not properly indented
for the whole example. I see $pl->close not indented on lines 1012,
1137, 1171, 1708. There may be surrounding material which is similarly
not indented near those lines.
Cheers,
Joel

Matt-
It turns out I won't have PDL computer access
until tomorrow. Sorry. I've cc'd zentara one
this reply since I'm including the list of fixes
I was planning (he may be able to do them before
I get to them tomorrow).
1. Replace "See the appendix on installing PDL---TBD!"
by a link to the http://pdl.perl.org web site.
2. Add figure for the torus example and also generate
the correct syntax for "imag3d $xyz, $rgb" where the
text says "...concatenate the RGB piddles to form TBD"
3. Check quote "simple thing simple, complicated
things possible"
4. Add the two figures for the Lorenz attractor and delete
the "(XXX?)" text.
5. Delete the Animation heading ( to come next revision)
6. Verify the randomization to remove Moire for the
points3d example with latest whichND since list
context is now deprecated.
7. Remove the "The VRML backend" heading
With those fixes, the chapter should be ok for this first
revision release.
Thanks,
Chris

I hope to get a minimal fix tonight.
I'm afraid the more complete version will
have to be in the next edition.

The new chapter-based output is much better.
I would suggest that Karl's background of PDL
be placed in as a Forward to the book (which is
what it is).
It's a good forward, but I wasn't keen on it being the first text that
introductory people see - they want to get into the language, not get
a history lesson! But that is me bing particularly harsh, so I'll move
it back.
Also, Craig's book input might make a better
framework with which to consolidate the current
sections and would provide a reasonable TOC
as well. Currently, some of the explanations are
more reference list-like rather than explanatory.
Sure, but I think Craig's material is great. It really covers all the
basics, and then some More folding of the material into the other
stuff, I agree with.
I'll work on cleaning up the 3D graphics for you
by tomorrow.
How's that coming along? I'd like to draw a line under the chapters
that are (and are not) there now, write the index, and get the first
version oiut.
Cheers,
Matt
