vagrant-devel — Vagrant development list

Just letting people know that Alex Volkov is now on the project and has
offered to help out in the coding.  I have some changes that I have to
finalize before committing them but hopefully that won't take too much
longer.  I have been working on a better way of labelling axis with word
wrapping and label directions (drawing text vertically if it overlaps with
other labels).  Anyway, if you guys want we can divide up tasks and use
the tracker to structure tasks.  I never have before since I had nobody
else working on the project :)  Let me know if that's what you want to do
and we can come up with some sort of feature list.

[Vagrant-devel] current vagrant issue

[Ariel G. <ag...@va...>]

The problem I am currently struggling with is grid/axis drawing when
labels are present.  In order to draw an effective grid, the highest
possible number of labels should be drawn which means that an effective
means of word wrapping needs to be present.  That is fine and not really
hard but the width of the graph depends on the max width of a y labels and
the y labels that get printed depend on the height of the x labels.  Of
course the x labels that get printed and the size constraints on those
labels depends on the max width of the y labels so we have a circular
problem.  At this point, short of checking the size of all incoming
labels, I am not sure of a good solution (not to say that checking all of
the labels is a good solution :).

Anway, I haven't had a lot of time in recent days to work on this so it
hasn't really been addressed.  My latest change was to split out the grid
functions into one that sets up the labels (numeric or string) and sets
the padding vars associated with the label sizes and then functions that
take those labels and draw the grid. I just haven't gotten the proper
wrapping mixed with height padding to work since I don't step through all
of the labels yet.
