Ben,I've pushed a changeset. http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/d5a7db05d591 I read through the changeset. I would say that it should be committed. The sooner people start trying it the better. A few comments: 1. About debug code: I am always in favor of leaving it in. You never know when something will go wrong. 2. It may be good to think of a "verbose" mode. Not quite the same as debug mode, but providing information that a user might find useful in deciding whether he did something wrong, or if there is a problem in the code. For instance, verbose mode should show what command line was sent to gs, or whatever processors did the work. Lots of people know a lot about gs. They could figure out why they are not getting what they want if they could see what options were sent to the processor. 3. Since graphics display is "in the eye of the beholder" it will never be possible to find what is seen as "right" for everyone. Making it possible for users to set choices which satisfy their preferences is essential. Thanks, Michael |
