[Plplot-general] yPlot has moved to SourceForge

[Alan W. I. <ir...@be...>]

As many of you know, yPlot is maintained by Conrad Steenberg and myself as
an extremely convenient front end to plplot which is easy to learn.  We
have just decided to move the yplot project from Conrad's old place of work
to SourceForge.  The new web site is http://yplot.sourceforge.net, and the
SourceForge project page is http://sourceforge.net/projects/yplot/.  Thanks
to Conrad's recent efforts all our old rpm's are now official file releases
of the project (see our project page to get access).

The yplot and plplot projects are closely connected so for now we will use
this plplot mailing list for any yplot announcements or discussion to keep
everything together in one convenient location.

Although the current yplot API is quite extensive it still does not yet give
access to the full plplot API, and my current goal for the yplot project is
to address this issue.  For example, I am currently working on debugging the
yplot interface with plshade, allowing excluded areas for that function, and
also implementing a yplot call to plplot's plscmap1l. The latter should make
it be possible to have a grey-scale shaded plot from yplot just as for
plplot.  If there is some other plplot API you would especially like to see
implemented in yplot, please let me know on this list.

When I get my current yplot changes done, I will package the improved yplot
as a tarball.  Watch here for an announcement.  rpm and deb packages of the
new stuff will have to wait until some other issues are settled.
