Bug#287800: gnuplot: mp terminal won't allow prologues:=-1
tags 287800 + moreinfo thanks hi, Upstream of gnuplot ask about precision about the prologue:=-1 stuff. Upstream does not found any documentation about this parameter set to -1. Could you help ?

Could you help ? I looked at the metapost manual (v1.208), which is /usr/share/doc/texlive-doc/metapost/base/mpman.pdf on my Debian 'unstable' system. Indeed, prologues:=-1 is not one of the options. This bug http://bugs.debian.org/287800 was reported in 2004 and I think back then metapost did not automatically output the HiResBoundingBox unless prologues:=-1 was set. With that setting it would output the high-precision box as the BoundingBox itself (which I think violates some Adobe standard or recommendation). Now (2010) it seems to output both the BoundingBox (with coordinates rounded to the the nearest PostScript point) and the HiResBoundingBox with the full info, without needing a special prologues setting. So, I think you can safely close this bug. I'm CCing the main metapost developer in case this is not right. -Sanjoy -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
