1.1       maekawa     1: X11 changes for gnuplot 3.3
                      2: ---------------------------
                      3:
                      4: Enhancements
                      5: ------------
                      6:
                      7:    o VMS X11 support (Jehavi Bourvine)
                      8:
                      9:    o New X11 rendering for 'points' plotting style improves point
                     10:      quality and eliminates the 'X11' terminal type whose only
                     11:      function was to request multi-colored points. (Russell Lang)
                     12:
                     13:    o tailorable linewidths, dash styles, and point sizes (see
                     14:      the man page)
                     15:
                     16:    o Color handling:
                     17:
                     18:        - "colorname,intensity" where 0 < intensity < 1
                     19:          For example, 'blue,.5' means a half intensity blue
                     20:
                     21:        - hexadecimal RGB colors accepted (needed for HP VUE)
                     22:
                     23:        - Failure to parse/allocate a color defaults to black
                     24:          for that color rather than monochrome for whole plot
                     25:
                     26:    o 'set term x11' assumed if '-display' option on command line.
                     27:
                     28: Bug Fixes
                     29: ---------
                     30:
                     31:    o On monochrome servers, any lines plotted before the first label
                     32:      was printed were lost. This lost zero axes and garbled some
                     33:      other plots. (Kenneth H. Carpenter)
                     34:
                     35:    o User specified geometry position ignored with some window managers.
                     36:      Negative positions miscalculated. (Mike Coleman)
                     37:
                     38:
                     39: Vendor Botch Circumventions
                     40: ---------------------------
                     41:
                     42:    o New X11FLAGS options:
                     43:
                     44:       - OW_BOTCH circumvents "ld.so: Undefined symbol: __XtInherit"
                     45:         loader errors on Sun Open Windows platforms. (Vivek Khera)
                     46:
                     47:       - ISC22 circumvents select() problem with ISC2.2 (Robert Eckardt)
                     48:
                     49:       - BSD_TYPES pulls select FD_SET definitions from <sys/bsdtypes.h>
                     50:         (Michael Herrmann)
                     51:
                     52:       - ULTRIX_KLUDGE expanded to circumvent missing demo plots at
                     53:         Ultrix 4.1 (chan@holo.iitsg.nrc.ca)
                     54:
                     55:    o Random window geometry with Esix X11R3 (Al Bolduc)
                     56:
                     57:
                     58: Miscellaneous
                     59: -------------
                     60:
                     61:    o The man page has been updated to document that background and
                     62:      foreground are not honored for monochrome displays, only -rv
                     63:      and 'gnuplot*reverseVideo:on'.
                     64:
                     65:    o '-tvtwm' command line option and gnuplot*tvtwm resource
                     66:
                     67:      Mike Coleman's fix for user-specified geometry position for
                     68:      other window managers causes tvtwm to use absolute rather
                     69:      then virtual-relative coordinates when the user specifies
                     70:      geometry. This command line option and resource tells
                     71:      gnuplot_x11 to use PPosition (virtual-relative) when a
                     72:      geometry position is requested.
                     73:
                     74:      Unfortunately, negative y positions are off by the size of the
                     75:      window manager title bar. Thus, for example, -0-20 rather than
                     76:      -0-0 is needed to place the lower right corner of the window
                     77:      at the lower right corner of the screen.
                     78:
