From: Philippe Jalaber <> Date: Sun, 19 Jun 2005 20:23:19 +0200 Subject: Ploticus tabular legends improvement Hello Steve, I recently made a little improvement...
Hi, I should have said in the previous post that the code has been posted as update 2.31-10, available at http://ploticus.sourceforge.net/doc/updates.html ...
Hi, attached is a contributed patch. I believe it applies to 2.31-09 but
not to 2.31-10 so it should be considered a fork.
It implements a feature where,...
Is there a way to automatically detect when pie label overlap (label collision)? Example overlap: http://www.ehdp.com/vn/rw/txu1/pd1/712pfwwa-1-pie.png I know...
Daniel, a robust, general mechanism for automatic detection of overlap and adjustment of graphical element(s) would certainly be useful. As you're aware it's...
Hi Steve & All, This patch fixes a small issue with my old patch and specifyorder and adds a framefill: <color> property to add this feature to my patchset. I...

Tobias, I will try and spend some time properly integrating the various legend patches for the next release. Can you send me your complete file proc_legend.c...
Hello, I'm having a bit of trouble getting Ploticus to produce a graph when I call it from Perl. I think it has to do with how I am escaping a certain element,...

It just may be that I am the master at solving my own problems once I post one to a message board. I figured out the issue, it was due the the '\n' in...

hi I am just starting to use ploticus and am using prefab graphs. Is there a prefab graph that allows you to plot time elapsed on the Y axis? The chron...
Tracey, there's no prefab that plots time on Y. In the majority of uses time is best plotted on X. However, you could plot time on Y if you write a script. ...
Hi, a problem was reported where prefab chron chokes when given dates using a notation w/ dots (dd.mm.yyyy)... seems like dates are being mistaken for...
I'm trying to build ploticus 2.31 on RHEL: $ uname -a Linux palomino 2.4.21-27.0.4.ELsmp #1 SMP Sat Apr 16 18:43:06 EDT 2005 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux But the...
Andrew, it looks like X windows isn't available on your platform. In the ploticus Makefile, find this section around line 216: #### To completely remove X11...
... Right. Or rather, X is, but not the development files. I've asked the admins about this, but until or unless they agree to install them, I'd rather just...
... the ... I'd ... If the runtime support is there, you can install a local copy of just the headers. Just make sure the version matches the libraries. ...
... Yeah, I tried that, but I seem to have a version mismatch. For libpng I'll probably just install a local copy (crosses fingers that it will work). ... ...
... Thanks to all who helped. I disabled X11 as suggested, and built and installed a private copy of libpng, and then was able to build ploticus. It works...
I'm creating some scatterplots with ploticus 2.31. As you can see in the screenshot at http://home.comcast.net/~andrex/bugz/ploticus.png, some of the plotting...
Andrew, I believe this is caused by "aliasing" - a computer graphics term that refers to error/distortion introduced by rasterization or numeric rounding. It...
... OK. I looked at SVG and EPS output, and as you say they look fine. So then this is the fault of libpng and/or libgd? It's strange that the PNG and GIF...
Andrew, ploticus uses libgd to generate both PNG and GIF. I took a quick look at the GD docs (www.boutell.com/gd) and it appears that recent versions of GD do...
... OK-- I see. In this case I'd rather "snap to grid" in order to eliminate those distortions. Anyway, thanks for clarifying this. I'll see if I can find a...
One other thing I forgot to mention: thanks a lot for making ploticus. It's very capable and is really saving my butt right now. The net is full of software...
good day, I have the following data: Date,Disk Subsystems,Total,Read Pct,Cache Hit Pct,Cur KB/sec,Max KB/sec,Cur I/O's sec,Max I/O's sec 12:50:45 AM ,ARRAY...
Pete, see http://ploticus.sourceforge.net/doc/times.html time values that are to be plotted must use 24 hour notation, eg 00:50:45 also, your data must be...
Hi list, I found two bugs, or better missing features in clickmap support. A attached two patches against 2.31. I don't know if they are really the right way...
