There used to be one, but I forgot where, and I have no whether it's still active. Dave or Clark must know --- the subscription address of any archiver should have been pretty obvious among the addresses they moved from dartmouth to sourceforge last November. -- Hans-Bernhard Broeker (br...@ph...)

There's an ongoing archive of our current lists as part of SF.net Geocrawler, the previous mail list archive provider for SF.net, still keeps some archives from that time (switched over in 2002). -- Hans-Bernhard Broeker (br...@ph...)

Ok, I've released "web page" version 003:
new script: gpsavediff
corrected link to http://gnuplot.sourceforge.net/demo/
links to gnuplot mailing lists archives
section about bidirectional communication your program <=> gnuplot

Yes, Ethan has already submitted a link. And is there an archive of gnuplot-beta? --- pm |

And there was something Ethan wrote for converting the demos to html, if I remember correctly... If this isn't already under CVS, perhaps that is where it could go. Maybe a module name like "gnuplot-homepage" or something. (The SourceForge subheading is "Home Page".) And further still any screen shots etc. should perhaps be subcategorized under another module so that if someone wants to modify the web page, he or she can just download the latest html portion and not have to download all the images.

The script is in CVS as ~/demo/webify.pl The resulting output is currently on http://gnuplot.sourceforge.net/demo Since then I have added more stuff to the script; I will update the web site with the new output this weekend. -- Ethan A Merritt merritt@u.washington.edu Biomolecular Structure Center (206)543-1421 Mailstop 357742 University of Washington, Seattle, WA 98195 |

Just found one:
gnuplot> set term pdf
gnuplot> set output 'test.pdf'
gnuplot> load 'electron.dem'
Hit return to continue
Hit return to continue
PDFlib value error: floating point value too large in pdf_ftoa
<program exits>
I have not yet tracked down the true origin of the error, but
the specific trigger of the error is the following problematic
bit of code from graphics.c:
/*{{{ map_position, wrapper, which maps double to int */
void
map_position(pos, x, y, what)
struct position *pos;
unsigned int *x, *y;
const char *what;
{
double xx, yy;
map_position_double(pos, &xx, &yy, what);
*x = xx;
*y = yy;
}
The problem is that in this case map_position_double is returning
negative numbers in xx and yy. These are then stored as unsigned
in x and y and nothing good can happen after that.
I am pretty sure that the negative values are themselves a
result of some upstream error that I haven't found yet.
Maybe someone else can spot it?
By the way, this error is in principle not specific to pdf output.
But the other terminal types that I have tried just ignore subsequent
moveto/lineto requests as being outside the plot boundaries, wheres
the pdflib complains and exits.
