[Plplot-devel] Interactive Qt drivers and window rescaling

[Alban R. <a.r...@im...>]

Hello all,

Merging the interactive Qt driver I provided for plplot and the one we
developed for QSAS, I realized that some of its behaviours could be
discussed and could lead to making them evolve a little. Do you have a
preference on how interactive drivers should manage line widths when the
windows are rescaled?
Let's take the example of a 2x window rescaling:
- Making lines 2x thicker would allow to preserve the initial look of
the plot <- this is the current Qt driver behaviour in plplot
- Keeping the lines widths would allow to see more detail on the zoomed
plot <- this is the current Qt driver behaviour in QSAS
I don't think there is an obvious answer, but you may already have
debated this issue, and may have sensible propositions.

Cheers,

Alban
