[MUMmer-help] deprecated syntax

[Bossers, A. <Ale...@wu...>]

Adam,

I am still a great MUMmer fan and porting the tool to galaxy using some wrappers.
Would it be possible to update the source code to update the deprecated syntax in mummerplot at line 1233 of version 3.22?
Eventhough the tools works it generates extra output to STDOUT and STDERR which make pipelining of the tool more difficult. Now I dump STDERR and STDOUT to dev/null but that shouldn't be necessary. I modified the local source but by an update this will be lost and forgotten....

The old line 1233 could be updated as follows:

Old;
        "set ticscale 0 0\n",
New;
        "set tic scale 0\n",


This works like a charm without the mentioned additional deprecated output:
---------------------------------------
Reading delta file out.delta
Writing plot files out.fplot, out.rplot
Writing gnuplot script out.gp
Rendering plot out.png

set ticscale 0 0
    ^
"out.gp", line 7: warning: Deprecated syntax - please use 'set tics scale' keyword
----------------------------------------

Or is this a backward compatibility issue?

Thanks
Alex
