Re: Run in an X window - Feature request.

[Daniel J S. <dan...@ie...>]

I've put the patch that allows connecting gnuplot_x11 to an external X 
window up on SourceForge.  In there I've updated Donald's demo with some 
of the tk8.3 demos.  There is a screen capture at

http://acer-access.com/~ds...@ac.../gnuplot/gpdemos.png

The demo is a Tcl/Tk script I placed in the /demo subdirectory called 
"gpdemos.tcl".  It is self-explanatory.

It turned out fairly well, but there are a couple problems with the 
demo.  Some of the demo scripts hang and can't be broken from.  I think 
it has something to do with the pipe/flush communication between the 
Tcl/Tk program and gnuplot.  (What else is new?)  I suspect that because 
before I implemented a clean exit, often when it would hang and I'd quit 
all the queued up demos would first execute in gnuplot/gnuplot_x11 and 
then that would exit.

The other thing is I can't figure out a way in Tcl/Tk to generate a 
frame that does not grab ahold of the mouse button.  Hence, the mouse 
action can't be handed over to gnuplot_x11.
