[Plplot-devel] tk03 bug

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

I built plplot from CVS head with the following commands:

cd plplot

make configure

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/plplot --with-double \
--enable-dynamic-drivers --enable-java --enable-gnome > & ! configure.out

make >&! make.out

There were no errors in the configure or make step.

cd tmp
make cdemos fdemos cxxdemos tkdemos

(This step had no errors.  Probably only the last of these is necessary to
show the tk03 bug, but I am being explicit about exactly what I did just in
case other people have trouble confirming this).

./plserver -f tk03

Every time I click on the "open new" button, I get the following error
message:

*** PLPLOT WARNING ***
plgdevlst:  too many devices

This warning message did not happen for 5.0.4, and I believe I have also
tested tk03 since the release of 5.0.4 without noticing any messages like
this.  Anyhow, I think it is fairly likely that this warning message is the
result of Maurice's recent tk changes.  I suppose it could also be due to
dynamic driver changes, but I presume that should not have much impact since
the tk driver remains static.

My interactive test of all the tk widget examples shows the results look
good even for tk03.  (Note my tests were quite superficial and did not test
most of the tk GUI widget functions.)

Maurice, do you have the same problem with tk03 on your system?
