X11 changes for gnuplot 3.3 --------------------------- Enhancements ------------ o VMS X11 support (Jehavi Bourvine) o New X11 rendering for 'points' plotting style improves point quality and eliminates the 'X11' terminal type whose only function was to request multi-colored points. (Russell Lang) o tailorable linewidths, dash styles, and point sizes (see the man page) o Color handling: - "colorname,intensity" where 0 < intensity < 1 For example, 'blue,.5' means a half intensity blue - hexadecimal RGB colors accepted (needed for HP VUE) - Failure to parse/allocate a color defaults to black for that color rather than monochrome for whole plot o 'set term x11' assumed if '-display' option on command line. Bug Fixes --------- o On monochrome servers, any lines plotted before the first label was printed were lost. This lost zero axes and garbled some other plots. (Kenneth H. Carpenter) o User specified geometry position ignored with some window managers. Negative positions miscalculated. (Mike Coleman) Vendor Botch Circumventions --------------------------- o New X11FLAGS options: - OW_BOTCH circumvents "ld.so: Undefined symbol: __XtInherit" loader errors on Sun Open Windows platforms. (Vivek Khera) - ISC22 circumvents select() problem with ISC2.2 (Robert Eckardt) - BSD_TYPES pulls select FD_SET definitions from <sys/bsdtypes.h> (Michael Herrmann) - ULTRIX_KLUDGE expanded to circumvent missing demo plots at Ultrix 4.1 (chan@holo.iitsg.nrc.ca) o Random window geometry with Esix X11R3 (Al Bolduc) Miscellaneous ------------- o The man page has been updated to document that background and foreground are not honored for monochrome displays, only -rv and 'gnuplot*reverseVideo:on'. o '-tvtwm' command line option and gnuplot*tvtwm resource Mike Coleman's fix for user-specified geometry position for other window managers causes tvtwm to use absolute rather then virtual-relative coordinates when the user specifies geometry. This command line option and resource tells gnuplot_x11 to use PPosition (virtual-relative) when a geometry position is requested. Unfortunately, negative y positions are off by the size of the window manager title bar. Thus, for example, -0-20 rather than -0-0 is needed to place the lower right corner of the window at the lower right corner of the screen.
