I'd like some feedback before saying it's finalized. I have used plcolorbar a lot (through the OCaml bindings) and have been pretty happy with it. There at least one addition which I think would be useful but I don't know if it is worth adding: We could add displacement, position and justification options for axis labels such as what is available when using plmtex directly. This is useful, for example, if you have two different unit systems labeled on each vertical axis on a vertically oriented color bar. A work-around is available with the current interface if you use a single label and manually adjust the text to be centered appropriately around the bar. One option is to add the parameters now (a few additional PLFLT arrays) so you can do your binding propagation work. The implementation of the feature in the C plcolorbar code could be carried out separately from the API propagation. > If finalized, what further changes (if any) do you propose for C > examples 16 and 33?

C example 33 with the colorbar option enabled is very verbose. I'm ok with leaving that verbosity in place but it would leave a huge number of pages in that example. Again, I would like feedback regarding whether the number of cases covered in this example (which still doesn't show all of what plcolorbar can do!) is reasonable. In short - I am OK with the C examples the way they are, barring the suggested additions to the colorbar API I mentioned above. > The reason I ask, is this would be a convenient time for me to > propagate plcolorbar changes to all the swig-generated language > bindings and examples, but that would require that the C example 16 > and 33 plcolorbar changes had been completed. > Hez ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Introducing AppDynamics Lite, a free troubleshooting tool for Java/.NET Get 100% visibility into your production application - at no cost.
