Hi all, I've been experimenting with PLplot for awhile. Mainly I use PDL, and thus interactive plotting with the xwin driver and the PDL::Graphics::PLplot module. But until now I was not able to get over one hurdle: that whenever I covered up the window, the contents would disappear until the next plotting command was issued. Just last week I was searching the email lists and found that setting the HAVE_PTHREAD option to cmake resolves this, in quite a satisfactory way. However, I usually just install PLplot from my distro's package manager, especially on a new machine, because of the considerable dependencies.
Is there any (good) reason that pthreads is not enabled by default, and thus enabled in the version downloaded from each distribution's repository? I don't know how that would work for packaging, how often pthreads are installed by default, or if that would generate a huge dependency, but it seems so convenient... cheers, Derek ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Plplot-general mailing list Plplot-general@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/plplot-general
