I've been looking at Multiplot XLN(d) - from FF 467(?). Nice program, but the Y axis labels have junk in them. I'm running on a 6M A3000 under 2.0. Everything seems fine, except that the Y axis labels are ALWAYS printed vertically, with each letter followed by 4 junk characters. For example, if the label is "Counts", it will be printed like: C@#$$ o$#@@ u@#$$ n#$%% t@#$% s@#$% where the !@#$%% characters represent assorted (random???) non-alphanum characters - which show up as junk. Does anyone know how to avoid this? If not, does it show up in the printouts? I don't have the proper POSTSCRIPT fonts on my amiga so POST 1.5 just shows blobs there. I'd really like to use this program to generate plots (like for a thesis or something...) but if it outputs junk I'll have to look elsewhere for my plotting... Thanks, John -- jgh1@unix.cis.pitt.edu ... A wild display of pig farmers gone berserk

In the function that "rotated" the amiga fonts for display along the y axis there was code like: (something like the following...) DisplayVertText(string,itext) char *string; struct IntuiText *itext; { char c; int i,j; j = strlen(string); for (i=0; i<j; i++) { c = string[i]; itext->IText = &c; [some other stuff...] PrintIText(...Itext...); } } I changed the 'char c;' to 'char c[2];' and forced an explicit NULL into c[1]. This seems to have fixed the problem. John. -- jgh1@unix.cis.pitt.edu My work here is finished. Why wait?

Did you define the Y label like this?: *YLABEL* whatever Yes, Multiplot does print Y labels vertically, but that doesn't bother me. I tested it against the Mac CRICKET GRAPH, and it compares very favorably. About the only thing it doesn't do is give you more than two printout sizes, but you can export DRAW and bring it into Pagestream... --Rick Wrigley fhwri@conncoll.bitnet I want a game that looks like SHADOW OF THE BEAST and plays like LEISURE SUIT LARRY...

Multiplot support is available on: WEHI::Baxter_A Baxter_A@wehi.dn.mu.oz.au Baxter_A@wehi.dn.mu.oz.au@MUNNARI.OZ.AU wehi.dn.mu.oz!BAXTER_A@harvard.edu Could you please send a little more information.

It certainly works for this sort of purpose here.. Multiplots have been published in three international journals. > > Thanks, > John > > -- > jgh1@unix.cis.pitt.edu > > ...
