histogram_description
in descriptive
ignores color
; the histogram is always red. E.g.:
draw2d (color = blue, histogram_description ([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]));
Inspecting the Gnuplot output file, I see
plot '/tmp/data666684.gnuplot' index 0 notitle w boxes fs solid 0 lw 1 lc rgb '#ff0000' axis x1y1
The rgb
specification presumably should reflect color = blue
.
It turns out
histogram
honorsfill_color
instead ofcolor
. It's a little unintuitive, but there's no way to draw a bar (via Gnuplotboxes
) with different colors for the interior and the border, so it seems there's no good reason to pursue it on the Maxima side. In any event,fill_color
does the job. Closing this ticket as "won't fix".
