[Plplot-devel] Capturing output in memory

2012-04-20 Thread Schwab,Wilhelm K
I have a "working" interface to PLplot, but it relies on temporary disk files, which is not at all attractive. Some time ago, I asked how to avoid this and there were solutions, but not ones that were within easy reach. IIRC, one option was to set up a quad RGB buffer and use (Cairo?) to draw o

RE map0 vs. 1, with the understanding that I have no idea what I am talking about, the maps are global, right? Could the answer be to pass a function pointer instead of the array? That would get around the void pointer because the common denominator would instead be a function that translates

[Plplot-devel] Timing of plsfnam()

2010-09-25 Thread Schwab,Wilhelm K
The ultimate fix to my concern here will be to move to a memory device driver, but for right now I am trying to distract myself from that and get some much needed work done (small grant proposal). The question is one of design in my Smalltalk binding: how should it work? How can it work? One

[Plplot-devel] plenv() axis parameter

Is there any bit arithmetic behind this from the manual: axis = -2: No box or annotation. axis = -1: Draw box only. axis = 0: Draw box, labeled with coordinate values around edge. axis = 1: In addition to box and labels, draw the two axes X = 0 and Y = 0. axis = 2: Same as axis = 1,
