[Plplot-devel] Is it time to remove our old fortran and our old Tcl bindings and examples?

Hi Arjen: This e-mail concerns cruft removal for both the Fortran and Tcl cases. Fortran: We introduced the new Fortran binding and corresponding examples as of PLplot-5.12.0 (released on 2017-01-29), but as a safety measure supplied the old Fortran binding and examples if the user specified

[Plplot-devel] Removal of our file support (consisting mostly of test examples in examples/perl) for the external PDL::Graphics::PLplot project?

By historical accident Rafael (followed by other developers here) helped out with Doug Hunt's external PDL::Graphics::PLplot project by supplying test examples in examples/perl to see how well that external project's results agreed with our C examples (which was typically not very well). Also

[Plplot-devel] Qt(5) problems

Hi, on my path to get plplot compiled for Debian, I have a number of problems during the execution to the Qt tests. I first was trying to use Qt5, since Qt4 is going to be deprecated very soon in Debian [1], but I see the same problems with Qt4. Occasionally, I get now lots messages like Qt:

[Plplot-devel] git blog

Can some git guru here advise me what I need to do to publish a bug fix release (in case during this release cycle some bug fix is so urgent that we need to make a bug-fix 5.13.1 release to propagate that fix to our users)? I assume I would branch a private topic branch called "release" for this

[Plplot-devel] Deprecate plshade1?

Does anyone have any objections to me deprecating plshade1 for this next release, to be followed up by removing it altogether in the next release? plshade1 differs from plshade only in the type of its first argument (pointer to a contiguous block of memory that contains nx by ny matrix values

Re: [Plplot-devel] On-going Windows testing, and our Wiki summary of it
