Re: [Plplot-general] plplot-wxwidgets-plotting

[Phil R. <p.d...@gm...>]

Hi David
Sorry, I haven't replied - I've been away and off email for close to a month.

Anyway - the problem is that when you create your wxPLplotwindow using
the default constructor it gets a size of wxDefaultSize at
initialisation. This is 20x20 pixels on my Windows system. PLPlot then
uses this size along with the DPI to calculate the most appropriate
text size, which comes out at I think about 0.3 mm. This is converted
to a pt size and used to create a wxFont. One of either of the
following is happening wxFont only accepts integers for pt size and
the pt size is less than 1 so gets rounded down to 0 and no text is
drawn, or the text is sortof there, but it is so small it doesn't
actually show up.

The easiest workaround is to specify a size at construction time -
this will change when your frame actually sorts out the sizing of its
child windows, but that's fine. So something like

m_right = new wxPLplotwindow<wxPanel>(true, wxSize(800, 800));

works and the text displays.

You should also be able to manually set the size using pls->schr() in
your Plot function, but I've just quickly tried that and it didn't
work. I'll try to investigate why.

Hope that gets you going for now.

Phil

[David B. <stu...@gm...>]

Alan,

Thanks.  It seems that we're making some progress.  I am working on 
Windows and I do not get the warning
"Somehow we attempted to plot before the wxPLplotwindow was ready. The 
plot will not be drawn".
I get a plot with some missing elements.  I've not tried to build or run 
in Linux.

Thanks for your help,
David

Hi David:

In my case, it was configuration of a new computer which kept me from
replying to what you said above in a timely way.  My apologies for that
delay.  But that new computer configuration has now been a success (I
am writing this from the new computer and PLplot also builds
on that new computer) so I now have a chance to answer you.

I think the nmake trouble you are having is due to the (default) install prefix
"C:/Program Files (x86)" having a blank in the path.  I think all those "blank 
in
path" issues are now gone in the git version of PLplot so please try that not
only for that reason but also because that is the version of PLplot I test with
in any case.

I tried a similar test (copying simple.cpp on top of 
examples/c++/wxPLplotDemo.cpp) here,
but in my case I configured PLplot with the cmake option -DBUILD_TEST=ON which
allows users to test in the build tree without having to install.  The result 
on
my new Debian Buster platform was I could build and run simple.cpp using
"make test_wxPLplotDemo".  That test had two key warnings which were

Gtk-Message: 22:23:32.181: GtkDialog mapped without a transient parent. This is 
discouraged.

on the command line + a dialog box with the following contents:

"Somehow we attempted to plot before the wxPLplotwindow was ready.  The plot 
will not be drawn".

And indeed that was followed by a blank plot.  So it appears your simple.cpp is 
still
not set up correctly for the Linux case.

I have put this thread back on the plplot-general list because Phil
Rosenberg, the author of the PLplot wxwidgets binding and device may
wish to comment since he had similar "waiting for events" trouble in
the past on Linux which might be related to what I am seeing on Linux with
the current simple.cpp.

In each demo, the subsequent plots are on a new page. If you are using an interactive device, you need to advance the page. On a non interactive device (e.g. a PDF), you should get all the pages. Please let me know if that is not working for you.

[Plplot-general] Examples

[David B. <stu...@gm...>]

I have a question about the examples.
There's code for generating all the plots that appear on the PLplot 
website but whenever I compile and run them I just get the first in the 
list.
The functions (or objects) take inputs but I cannot seem to execute them 
with other options for which plot to generate (I can choose the output 
device as expected).

Can anyone provide a quick response about what I'm doing wrong?

Thank you.
David

Just to test that out, I locally copied that version on top of
examples/c++/wxPLplotDemo.cpp

and then tested using a CMake-based build of PLplot as follows:

software@raven> make test_wxPLplotDemo

You should be able to follow my Linux steps on Windows by copying your
simple.cpp on top of examples/c++/wxPLplotDemo.cpp, configuring PLplot
using cmake on the command line using the "NMake Makefiles" generator, and replacing make with nmake
to attempt to build the test_wxPLplotDemo target.

Let me know how that test attempt goes, and please fix whatever causes
the above build error (at least for the Linux case) in your simple.cpp
and send it to me again.

Re: [Plplot-general] plplot-wxwidgets-plotting

[David B. <stu...@gm...>]

Alan,

Thanks for the quick response.  You are correct, this was a rather 
convoluted piecemeal hack of several examples from both wxwidgets and 
plplot.

Attached is a simplified version.  There is one, and only on, plot 
function, and a very simple widgets GUI with no buttons or menus.
The issue is present, i.e. no tick mark values and no labels.  I did not 
add any external frames, rather than show a difference I opted to show 
one thing in this example.

The only real difference is that I am using a wxPanel to make the plot 
in the splitter window.

I am fairly new to both PLplot and wxWidgets so I may be using these 
functions incorrectly (it is not my intent to unnecessarily spin people 
up for help but I have tried and am clearly missing something).  Viable 
hypotheses are (1) I'm instantiating the Panel incorrectly, (2) invoking 
the plot incorrectly, (3) that plots and panels don't work like plots 
and frames do (and I'm missing some data), (4) there is a size issue and 
the text I expect to see is outside the limits of the Panel.

As I stated before, in a more complex code base this issue goes away if 
I "re-plot" the same plot in the same window via an external button 
push.  Would it help if the plot function was "owned" by the myApp?

David

Hi David:

I suggest you make a self-contained example that demonstrates the
issue in the simplest way possible.  Such simplified test examples are
really worthwhile since they normally help you to find the bug in your
own code or if there is no such bug make it much easier to debug
external library code such as that from PLplot or wxwidgets.  Also if
it turns out the bug is not in your own code such a simplified example
should be easy for PLplot developers to build with CMake and run on
various platforms to see whether the issue shows up on all platforms.
For example, I would be willing to help with such a test on the Linux
platform.

Good luck with implementing this suggested simplified example, and let
us know how it goes.

[Plplot-general] plplot-wxwidgets-plotting

[David B. <stu...@gm...>]

Dear all,

I am using plplot 5.13.0 and wxwidgets 3.1.0 in a windows environment, 
VS 2017.
I've attempted to merge the plplot wxwidgets example with more complex 
wxwidgets examples to generate plots in various frames and panels in a 
larger GUI format.

The specific example that produced the figures in this email were made 
using wxWidgets uiaction sample (UI action simulator) and the 
WxPLplotDemo code.

In a nut shell I've made a splitter window in the main GUI and placed a 
copy of one of the plots there via a call to Plot() in the mainframe 
definition.  The same plot is called for some menu action too.

The issue I am seeing is that the plot in the main GUI does not have 
axis labels or tick mark values but the separate plot, activated by the 
menu does.

Also, if I refresh the plot in the gui via a separate menu action the 
missing data returns.

All calls are to the same function.  I'm asking here first since it's 
the plot generated by PLplot that is inconsistency but it may be a 
wxwidgets issue.

(it is clear that I was messing with other PLplot attributes too, like 
subplot, color, etc.  This was not the cause of the difference as it is 
present regardless.)  Modified code is attached (note that the "run 
simulation" menu item will cause a crash.), it is a quick hack job but 
I'm not seeing an obvious cause for the diff.

This is the main frame GUI


This is the separate plot generated in a new frame.

[Plplot-general] PLplot install error

[W. M. <wad...@gm...>]

Hi,

I have successfully done a "make" but "make install" fails with this error
message on RedHat 6.9:

-- Installing: /work/scratch/fchami/plplot-5.13.0/include/plplot/qsastime.h
CMake Error at lib/qsastime/cmake_install.cmake:49 (file):

Attaching a (compressed) patch to a post to this mailing list would be
fine.  And if/when that time comes I would encourage you to generate
that patch with "git format-patch" since that makes it easier to give
you git credit for your work.  But if you don't want to use that git
command a patch generated any other way would also be acceptable.

And to answer your first question, if someone shows sustained interest
in PLplot development by submitting good patches over a significant
number of months, and they let us know they hope to continue to
actively develop PLplot, then we generally invite that person to be a
core PLplot developer which gives them several project-related
capabilities (e.g., push capability for our git repository, the
ability to add to our wiki, etc.).

But even if you are not a core PLplot developer, you can help us a lot
by sending in patches for single-issue improvements (such as discussed
above) or by doing comprehensive testing of PLplot.

That latter simply consists of running

scripts/comprehensive_test.sh

for the HEAD of the git master branch for PLplot for some (or ideally
all) of the platforms you have access to.  That script runs all our
tests for all our major build-tree and install-tree configurations,
and assembles the results into a report tarball. If you send that
report tarball to us (as an attachment to a post to this list) it is
easy for us to analyze it for any PLplot problems on the platforms
where you are running the script and also give you credit for running
that test in our wiki with an entry in the comprehensive testing
report table in
<https://sourceforge.net/p/plplot/wiki/Testing_PLplot/#Testing%20Reports>.

To learn more about that script run

scripts/comprehensive_test.sh --help

Hi David:

Cool plots!

And I just realized we could produce something like those with
<http://plplot.org/docbook-manual/plplot-html-5.13.0/plpoly3.html>.
For an example that uses calls to plpoly3 to plot a unit sphere, see
<http://plplot.org/examples.php?demo=18>.  It should be
possible (but likely not trivial) to modify that example to plot something more
interesting than the unit sphere, and with a convenient API, e.g.,

void
plmeshxyz(PLINT nx, PLINT ny, PLINT nz, PLFLT_MATRIX x, PLFLT_MATRIX
PLFLT_MATRIX z);

where plmeshxyz calls plpoly3 appropriately inside.

I haven't looked at the details of what would be required, but if you
do have success with this type of approach, we will likely ask you to
donate your work to PLplot under the LGPL so others can benefit.

Re: [Plplot-general] surface plot questions

[David B. <stu...@gm...>]

Alan,

Thanks for the reply.  MATLAB and SCILAB functions are overloaded to 
allow to this.  For example the following figures were generated by such 
a call to surf(x,y,z), with x, y, and z each a n-by-n matrix.

I believe this causes the function to trace curves of constant u and v, 
though I am not sure.  I use it to make 3-dim cardioid patterns.

I believe the following wound work (with some mods).

u = linspace(min,max,n);

[U,V] = meshgrid(u,u);

define some functions.

X(U,V), Y(U,V), Z(U,V)

then

surf(X,Y,Z).

if u and v are theta and phi in spherical coordinates, then 
sin(Th).*cos(Ph), sin(Th).*sin(Ph), cos(Th) would generate the unit sphere.

Thanks,
David

Hi David:

Our plcont and plshades API's have this capability, see
<http://plplot.org/docbook-manual/plplot-html-5.13.0/plcont.html> and
<http://plplot.org/docbook-manual/plplot-html-5.13.0/plshades.html>,
but our other means of making 3D plots, e.g., plmesh (see
<http://plplot.org/docbook-manual/plplot-html-5.13.0/tri-d-plots.html>
for the full list of our 3D API's) have only one-dimensional x and y arguments.

By the way, can you give me an example of, say, a mesh plot of a
parameterized surface?  I thought such plots required one-dimensional
x and y vectors since the results are typically a collection of 3D
lines, z(y)_i, at a fixed set of one-dimensional x_i values and
another set of 3D lines, z(x)_j, at a fixed one-dimension set of y_j
values.  In fact, all the MATLAB examples I have just looked up of
mesh plots seem to be of this type.

[Plplot-general] surface plot questions

[David B. <stu...@gm...>]

All,

I am interested in making a surface plot in 3-dim of a parameterized 
surface in the following format,
x(u,v), y(u,v), z(u,v)
rather than the usual z = f(u,v).

MATLAB, SCILAB, and Octave have this option and I was wondering if 
PLplot has it as well.
I did look through the examples and documented interfaces and nothing 
seemed to match this.

Thank you in advance for your help.

David

Hi David:

During that migration, I also had some difficulty.  For example, I
could not gain access to another SF software project git repository
for a day or two to push my changes.  But I am pretty sure that
migration of SF to a new hardware centre is fully completed now.  For
example, I haven't tried yet to git push new PLplot code, but I did
that successfully with another SF project so I assume git pushes now
also work again for PLplot.  Also, our SF website (accessed via
plplot.org), and our project page at sf.net/projects/plplot all seem
to be working now.

Let me know if you discover any PLplot services (all of which are
provided by SF) that are still not working properly.

Re: [Plplot-general] More questions about install

[Phil R. <p.d...@gm...>]

Hi David
I have a feeling you are looking in <build-directory>/include. You need to
install using the command nmake install, the libraries and required headers
will then be copied to the install directory. If you didn't specify an
install directory in your cmake command then the default is I think
something like <program-files>/plplot. Because this default directory
requires admin privileges to be written to you may need to do nmake install
from an elevated command prompt
https://www.lifewire.com/how-to-open-an-elevated-command-prompt-2618088

Fingers crossed this is the last obstacle :-)

Re: [Plplot-general] More questions about install

[David B. <dav...@ya...>]

Phil, 
Thanks for reaching out.At this point the VS IDE build and install has never worked right, without massive errors.  The latest trial produced the release version without error but not the debug.
 Following the instructions for a command line build, with help from Arjen, in windows (not Cygwin) produced a directory without errors.  The IDE build and the command prompt build are significantly different in the content (in my opinion).  
I've been able to build a VS project from scratch using PLplot headers and dll and it worked.  So, I'm counting that as a success.  I have not yet had a chance to do more complex plots, fully test the functions, or integrate with widgets which is my intent.  I may need more help in the future.
I will say that there was one dll that the VS compiler/linker said was corrupted but I don't recall which one.Just to get past it and get something working I deleted this from the project.  It may come back to bite me later.

David

Hi David,
 
  
 
That is easier – did you install the stuff via “nmake install” or are you working from the build directory?
 
  
 
That is what I usually do and then I have to expand the PATH environment variable:

Arjen, 
 
Thanks, that worked to get past this hurdle.  nmake and nmake install worked.
 
Frankly, I'm not sure what state plplot is in but I tried running an example exe and got an error message that plplotcxx.dll is not installed on my computer.
 
However, this *.dll does exists in the dll folder.
 
How does that work?

Re: [Plplot-general] More questions about install

[Phil R. <p.d...@gm...>]

Hi David
I would have gotten involved in this thread earlier if I had realised it
had moved to Visual Studio an wxWidgets and away from Cygwin. Sorry for
just reading the title and not the text.

I always use the visual studio IDE, I don't know if that is the route you
ended up going down. Have you found the instructions at
https://sourceforge.net/p/plplot/wiki/Configure_PLplot_for_the_Visual_Studio_IDE/?
They are a little out of date, but I don't think much has changed.

Phil

Re: [Plplot-general] More questions about install

[David B. <dav...@ya...>]

That worked.  Are there any good tutorials for using this with wxWidgets and VC++?I think I need to set up the wxWidgets driver.You may hear from me again...David

Hi David,
 
  
 
That is easier – did you install the stuff via “nmake install” or are you working from the build directory?
 
  
 
That is what I usually do and then I have to expand the PATH environment variable:
 
  
 
set PATH=d:\plplot-build-dir\dll;%PATH%
 
cd examples\cxx
 
x01.exe
 
  
 
Fill in the right directory for “plplot-build-dir” above.

Arjen, 
 
Thanks, that worked to get past this hurdle.  nmake and nmake install worked.
 
Frankly, I'm not sure what state plplot is in but I tried running an example exe and got an error message that plplotcxx.dll is not installed on my computer.
 
However, this *.dll does exists in the dll folder.
 
How does that work?

Hi David,
 
 
 
I was a bit hasty, I think – the cairo device driver actually consists of a whole slew of them and you would have to set all of them to off to avoid the cairo device (things like PLD_wincairo and PLD_epscairo). If I read the CMake files correctly, then you should be able to turn off that family of devices by -DDEFAULT_NO_CAIRO_DEVICES=ON. (I hope I am right this time)

Arjen,
 
Thanks.  I tried again with your suggestion but the following warning.
 
 
 
CMake Warning:
  Manually-specified variables were not used by the project:
 
 
 
PLD_cairo
 
 
 
I tried variant, e.g. all cap, etc, just in case there was a typo.  No luck.
 
 
 
Any other suggestions would be appreciated.
 
On another note, not sure is you saw my other email status.  Installing from the IDE seemed to work for the Release build but not the Debug, several projects failed to build.  I cannot decipher why one would build and the other not.  Additionally the *.exe for the examples did not get created as in previous installs.  It seems that each try produces a different state.
 
 
 
Thank you in advance.
 
David

Wrt your message (it got caught in my spam filter for reasons best known to itself):
 
 
 
“Arjen,
 
 
 
I just installed CMake 3.9.4 and tried the build from a DOS command prompt (not using VS INSTALL).  Same issues, partial output is attached.
 
It crashes at ciaro [26%].  Do I need ciaro to use plplot?
 
 
 
David”
 
 
 
Apparently the build system is finding libraries that are connected to the cairo device. Unfortunately, they are not truly compatible. The best way to take care of that is to use the option –DPLD_cairo=OFF, forcing the build system to ignore that device. This kind of things sometimes happens.

Re: [Plplot-general] More questions about install

[David B. <dav...@ya...>]

I believe I did set PATH, as that was one of the steps on the site.  I'll try again.  I installed via "nmake install".On another note does this method of building produce all the same results as building and installing from the IDE?I have virtually no header files, or code, just dll, lib, etc.Not sure what to expect as each method produces different file structure.
Thanks,David
