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.
