You don't bother, it's a good thing, that someone uses plplot and tells us, where problems/bugs are. But I actually have no idea, why the "_" isn't plotted. > > Going to PlPlot version 5.9.2 the text plotting with the WxWidgets > driver on Vista is improved enormously and includes the proper > plotting of the "_". Good! I assume that you use just plain wxWidgets, without the agg library, freetype library and wxGraphicsContext compiled in. Yes, I improved the font handling, looks nicer, but if it is the "basic" backend (in the windows title it says something like "wxWidgets PLplot App (basic)") then be warned, that (full) unicode support is not there, and that in 3d plots the text is not "sheared", since that is not possible with the basic backend. If this is a problem for you, then let me know. Apart from that "problems", the text output is nice and fast. It is also possible to use the hershey font for symbols instead of real font, this is good on Windows, since the symbols are often "misplaced", but not if you use the hershey fonts. Just start an example like that "x01c --xxx" and you will get the option to enable hershey symbols. > Is there a way to get the xwin driver on Linux also plot the "_" ? > > Trying to use the WxWidgets driver on Linux failed up to now with : > > X Error of failed request: BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window > parameter) > Major opcode of failed request: 62 (X_CopyArea) > Resource id in failed request: 0x0 > Serial number of failed request: 963 > Current serial number in output stream: 965 > > This is using the standard tests, but maybe the installation of > 5.9.2 was not completely correctly for the WxWidget driver (although > no errors showed up in the "cmake" and cons. "make"). Could you maybe post the output of cmake and "make VERBOSE=1" or just send it to me? I'm not sure, if you use freetype/agg/ ... Which version of wxWidgets are you using: 2.6 or 2.8? Which Linux are you using? The wxWidgets rather became rather complex and big and since it works on 3 or more platforms (which is cool), it's hard to test it on all platforms and linux distributions (which is not so cool ;).
