Andrew, On my machine, in Ada example 29, the line
xmin := Long_Float(Time_Of(2005, 12, 1, 0.0) - Time_Of(1970, 1, 1, 0.0)); calculates a value of xmin of 1.13339520000000E+09 which is the same number that you hard-coded the value to recently. Does your machine not calculate this same value of xmin when using the Time_Of function? You can print out the xmin value by changing the with-clause to look like this: with Ada.Text_IO, Ada.Numerics, etc. and by adding this line right after the xmin calculation: Ada.Text_IO.Put_Line(Long_Float'image(xmin)); Jerry ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Plplot-devel mailing list Plplot-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/plplot-devel
