Dear plplot subscribers,
I would like to repeatedly enable/disable viewport clipping while
plotting, in order to draw lines, symbols, etc. in a legend outside the
plot, while retaining clipping when data is plotted. Is there a simple
way to do this in plplot, or is clipping-disable in the TODO list?
Up to now i found a suboptimal solution (see fortran subroutine
further in text) by calling plgvpd/plgvpw to get viewport/window
settings, setting viewport to [0.,1.],[0.,1.] and enlarging
correspondingly the plotting window, then switching back to the initial
settings when desired. However in this way, after a disable/enable
cycle, the plotting window is not the same as before because the values
obtained by plgwpd are not exactly the one previously passed to plwind,
a little correction of 1.e-5 is made in the plwind code. Maybe adding a
function similar to the one I propose in the C api (with exact window
settings) could be a simple approach!? I could try provide a patch if
this may help.
Thank you for your help and best regards, Davide
