Re: Tweak for interactive SVGs? ToggleVisibility

[<pl...@pi...>]

Hi,

Bill never got a reply to his question of whether a patch to add
ToggleVisibility to gnuplot would be likely to get accepted. I would
like to reiterate that question.

The changes to svg output would be fairly trivial.

1/ separte line sample form the <path> of the plot itself
2/ add some id="..." identifiers to output. This would actually be a
good idea anyway to enable future expansion of functionality (and
readability of the svg markup: try locating the grid output by scanning
the current output).

eg <path id="line1" d=' ....'></path>
   <path id="line1_sample" d=' ....'></path>

3/ add an onclick event to the legend texts
<text  onclick='toggleVisibility(evt,"line1")'>line1 legend</text>

4/ add a short <script >  [CDATA[ .....</script> to the top of the svg file.

5/ someone will have to come up with a spec for adding this to the
command syntax.

I really like this feature and it would be a good first step in adding
interactivity to gnuplot's svg output.

What are the chances of it getting accepted?

TIA,

Peter.
