[Fxplot-users] Re: Problem using FXPlot2D

[Rafael de P. S. <ra...@rp...>]

Hi Jean,

Regargind the mail list, I think you sent the message for the wrong 
address, the correct is fxp...@li....

About your questions, which version of FOX are you using?
Currently only version 1.4.X is supported, appears that in new versions 
exists() and extension() have moved from the FXFile. I think the new 
version is FX::FXStat::exists() and FX::FXFileAssoc::extension().

Some time ago I have compiled it with VC7 with no problem.
Sory for the question, but have you included the FXPlot2D.h header in 
your file?
Please take a look at the file curves.cpp and check if you could 
generate an executable for it.

With the best wishes,
Rafael.
