Just to update on Alan's email last week. I've now fixed up f77, f95, java and python. Tcl is also in order.
The fortran changes also involved tidying up plmap / plmeridian. Example 19 use an identify transform since fortran does not support NULL functions. This does not work as the generalised coordinate transform support uses different code paths when a transform is present (e.g. to draw lines - can't assume they are straight.) I have added new variants of plmap / plmeridian to the fortran bindings to unset the transform. One note on java: whether you get perfect results depends on which java interpreter you use. I find (both on 32 bit and 64 bit platforms) that with gij I get perfect agreement with the C versions. With Sun jdk or opendjdk I see lots of small rounding differences. I'm not sure we can do anything about that. Our octave bindings do not currently support callbacks so example 19 is not implemented for octave. I think it is possible, but not trivial and it needs some time to work out how to do it which I've not yet found. Perl is reliant on updates to PDL. Ada, lua and d are still awaiting the porting of plstransform and examples. Volunteers? We're getting back into a decent shape with the examples for release.
