Pick a bug in the list, I guess. They seem to be coming in at a higher r=
ate lately... probably reflects increased usage.
Should keep a list of things to do on the gnuplot.info page. In any case=
I'll lobby for the following before a 4.2 release:
1) BUG 1488168 z_floor and z_ceiling based on xyplane.absolute
There is a patch there to fix that one. After applying this patch I sugg=
est also a change to the mouse behavior for the scale. Have the xyplane =
move in the direction the mouse moves (i.e., invert the scale movement) a=
nd also have the motion be linear and not tend to zero as the xyplane nea=
rs zero. If Ethan doesn't have time to change that and thinks it is wort=
h changing, I can modify that.
2) BUG 1503114 FIX: 1107709 plot [-1:1] x is plotted with asymmetric=
y-axis
I picked a bug in the list and fixed it. It is a short little patch that=
puts a 0.01 tolerance in computation of the tics before doing ceil() or =
floor(). That means an overrun of 1/100 of a tic will be ignored. Not a=
problem in most cases and if the user is concerned or even notices, manu=
al ranging can be done.
3) PATCH 1494573 check number of variables for u.d. functions
This is a really nice patch that will verify that the number of variables=
supplied to a defined function matches the number of variables when defi=
ned. Pretty straightforward patch; it simply adds a record to the struct=
ure of the number of variables.
4) PATCH 1499728 revamped stat.inc
Crosses the t's and dots the i's on the p.d.f./c.d.f. definitions in stat=
.inc. Also adds a bit of variety to 'prob.dem' making it more tutorial i=
n fashion.
5) PATCH 1027032 Connect gnuplot_x11 to exterior application window
This one is of no urgency to me, but someone at some point requested it. =
We're close on this one, and there was some detail left uncovered I can'=
t recall right now. But it would be nice to add this one just to get it =
out of the patch list.
