Summary

Fixes Issue #355 where the first plot appeared empty on GitHub Pages. The issue was caused by the backend not being initialized during the figure() call, which led to plot_count being reset when ensure_global_figure_initialized() was called later.

Problem

The bug occurred because:

  1. figure() called fig%initialize() without backend parameter
  2. Backend remained unallocated
  3. Later calls (plot, title, etc.) checked if backend was allocated
  4. Since it wasn't, they called initialize() again, resetting plot_count to 0
  5. This caused the first plot data to be lost, resulting in only black dots being rendered

Solution

  • Initialize default PNG backend in figure_t%initialize() if not specified
  • Add default color initialization to plot_data_t type (both versions)
  • Add test to verify first plot renders with correct colors

Test

Added test_first_plot_rendering.f90 which verifies that the first plot renders with proper colors (not just dots).

Fixes #355

Issue #355: First plot appeared empty on GitHub Pages due to backend not being
initialized during figure() call, causing plot_count to reset when
ensure_global_figure_initialized() was called later.

Changes:
- Initialize default PNG backend in figure_t%initialize() if not specified
- Add default color initialization to plot_data_t type (both versions)
- Add test to verify first plot renders with correct colors

The bug occurred because:
1. figure() called fig%initialize() without backend parameter
2. Backend remained unallocated
3. Later calls (plot, title, etc.) checked if backend was allocated
4. Since it wasn't, they called initialize() again, resetting plot_count to 0
5. This caused the first plot data to be lost

Now the backend is always initialized, preventing the unwanted reset.
