[Plplot-devel] I have just converted public API plP_gvpd and plP_gvpw to common API plgvpd and plgvpw

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

For years plmodule.c has had a wrapper for plP_gvpw so that python users
could get access to the world coordinate limits of the current viewport, and
I have just received a well-justified request to wrap plP_gvpd so that
python users could get access to the normalized device coordinate limits of
the current viewport.

I prefer to avoid special API for particular front ends as much as possible
so accordingly, I have converted plP_gvpd and plP_gvpw to the common API
functions plgvpd and plgvpw, wrapped both these common API functions for
python, converted Plplot code to use the new common API names, and also
provided access to the old names of everything to support legacy
applications which depend on them.

DocBook documentation to follow.
