This is not accurate. gnuplot is a backend, See the backend command.Why does print.m use gnuplot related commands? This means that gnuplot is mandatory as a installation during file generation with print.m! Shouldn't the backend fix the printing functionality? Shouldn't gnuplot just be a backend, and not the primary application for file generation of figures? While there are gnuplot commands in print.m, this is due to history and gnuplot is not required. For example, on my Mac I have not yet implemented gnuplot but fltk is fully functional. It has been remarked before that print.m is due for improvement in order to cleanly separate backends. You should look at the fltk backend and see how your code relates to it and where you can contribute to enhancing the current capabilities. Michael |
