Quick question - does cgPlot allow arrays to be passed as psym and/or
color? Or do they have to be scalar?

OK, sorry this took all day. Frantic around here. :-)

I'm not collecting the SPAWN results and printing them
if /QUIET is not set. Allowing QUIET to be set from
cgControl is still on my ToDo list.

Cheers,

David

Yes, is that unusual. :-)

Maybe someday soon I'll have enough leisure time to
make lists, but at the moment I'm going all out to
get this book ready for publication. There are just
so many things to think about, that I need brain
expansion modules.

At the top of my list are more typos! (*Very* hard
to pull the trigger when you are terrified of looking
the fool on the very first page!) Keep them coming.
And those of you who have purchased books already
(THANK YOU!) can exchange your riddled copy for
a clean one. (Assuming I can make one, eventually.)

Anyway, getting closer and closer. I think I've decided
on a printer. I have only to see some of his books to
assure myself the books won't fall apart as soon as they
are opened. Quality is important to me, as I'm sure it
is to you, too.

The pre-publication sale on the book will be over
shortly. Maybe through the end of the week, when
I really start to advertise the book. So far, only readers
of the newsgroup know about it, but I figure I owe
you folks.

I've found a couple of code problems today, and I've
added a couple of features, so look for new code by
the end of the day.

Cheers,

David

P.S. To answer Paul's question--I think that why I
start to write--I would *like* to use that Wiki
repository more. Just have to find some time to do
it. And, yes, I would like to have a LOT more
collaborators. My plans for Coyote Graphics 2.0 will
require a few of us. :-)

Good idea! I'll do that next time :)

Maybe you could advertise the "issues" tracker in your repo for user requests like these:
http://code.google.com/p/idl-coyote/issues/list

Once people have gotten themselves a google acct, can anyone submit an issue/bug/ticket?

cheers,

paulv

p.s. I see the idl-coyote project "currently has no issues". Is that true? :o)

Oh, OK. On Windows, I never see the output so I didn't
realize it was there. Yeah, I'll do that.

Thanks,

David

P.S. It's always permissible to fix code and send it
to me. That way it gets bumped up to the top of the
pile instead of starting at the bottom. :-)

Looking at PS_END, you don't have a way to suppress the output from
the SPAWN command. You could save the output into a string file and
then only print it if /QUIET is not set...

The keyword is QUIET (on PS_START), but it is not set
from within cgWindow. I'll see what I can do to add this to the
cgControl parameters. I have that open today, anyway.

Cheers,

David
