Re: [Plplot-devel] [Plplot-general] plsmem(), RGB+alpha vs. RGB?

[Schwab,Wilhelm K <bs...@an...>]

Simon,

I had found the thread, but had not noticed that you had posted a demo; I have that source now.  It sounds like it works, but not particularly well and does not do fills.  Is that fair?  FWIW, if the memory driver were to use, conditionally or otherwiwse, RGBA, my life might get a little easier - not that it should matter too much.  

Perhaps a more accurate statement is that the cleaner it can be to use RGBA data, the better binding I should be able to release for Pharo.  Most likely I will start with a hack and then worry about whether or not it can be packaged for wide use.

Thanks!

Bill

Hi Bill,
There was some discussion on the mailing list a while ago. I was adding
the plsmem capability to the python drivers.

Thread and demo here, if you haven't already found it:
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=800ea22f22d346264ae4cd5f31f3c373.squirrel%40host171.canaca.com&forum_name=plplot-devel

I never did the overlay stuff I intended....
Cheers,
Simon
