Hi Alan, wow, that is quite a set of changing. Yes, the examples were filled with local definitions of parameters like PL_PARSE_FULL and so on. Having them in a single include file will make it easier for our users. I agree that a similar route be taken for Fortran 95, even though we can rely on the module to convey the information.
I am currently translating example 33, which will also require an interface to plcolorbar(), but I will not be able to finish it of course before the foreseen changes to the API. Meanwhile I can make a start with the Fortran 95 and Tcl bindings and examples - a lot of the work is independent of the API changes. Regards, Arjen On 2011-01-27 04:50, Alan W.
