#214 gri-mode 2.68 -scale problem with gv 3.5.8
Hi, I loaded the new gri-mode.el v2.68 with gri v2.5.11 and got a
small string of errors, some seemingly originating in a few --flagname
instead of -flagname text in the file. All of the --flagname lines
caused the (No such file or directory) error until I changed them to
the format shown in "man gv". But the stopper for me is a problem with
-scale. I'm running gv version 3.5.8
from my Emacs *Messages* buffer trying to plot a valid gri file using the Gri button:
Loading gri-mode (source)...
Loading easymenu...done
Loading gri-mode (source)...done
Loading easy-mmode...done
Using syntax for gri version 2.12.11
Scanning gri functions, variables and synonyms ( 0%)

gri -b -y junk.gri (on newly saved file)
(Shell command succeeded with no output)
Running gri done.
gv -portrait -watch -scale 0 -antialias /home/tom/junk.ps
Gri command completed with no output.
gri-view: gv: Cannot open file -scale 0 (No such file or directory)
Looks like the values are not being passed, rather the tags are when I punch the emacs menu buttons to change scale.
Here are the few lines I had to change to get this far (original lines
commented out):
2920,2923c2920,2926
< "--orientation=landscape"
< "--orientation=portrait")))
< (setq scale (format "--scale=%s" (int-to-string gri*view-scale)))
< (setq watch (if gri*view-watch "--watch" "--nowatch"))
---
> "-landscape"
> "-portrait")))
> ;; "--orientation=landscape"
> ;; "--orientation=portrait")))
> (setq scale (format "-scale %s" (int-to-string gri*view-scale)))
> ;; (setq scale (format "--scale=%s" (int-to-string gri*view-scale)))
> (setq watch (if gri*view-watch "-watch" "-nowatch"))
2925c2928,2929
< (if gri*view-noantialias "--noantialias" "--antialias")))
---
> (if gri*view-noantialias "-noantialias" "-antialias")))
> ;; (if gri*view-noantialias "--noantialias" "--antialias")))
I also put in the gri*view-command customization, which caused an error:
From my .emacs file:
;; gri scientific plotting tool
(setq gri*WWW-program "/usr/bin/mozilla")
(setq gri*WWW-page "/usr/share/doc/gri-2.12.11/html/index.html")
(setq gri*directory-tree "/usr/share/gri")
(autoload 'gri-mode "gri-mode" "Enter gri-mode." t)
(setq auto-mode-alist
(cons '("\\.gri$" . gri-mode) auto-mode-alist))
(add-hook 'emacs-gri-mode-hook 'turn-on-font-lock)
(setq gri*view-command \"gv -media letter\")
Emacs spits out:
An error has occurred while loading `/home/tom/.emacs':
Symbol's value as variable is void: \"gv
Thanks,
Tom

To find where the break in functionality is, I've reverted down to gri-mode v2.64 and all seems to work. So the break for my setup is between 2.64 and 2.68

To find where the break in functionality lies with my setup,
I've backed down to gri-mode v2.64 from v2.68 and everything
appears to work.
