OK I will check on that. Note it is a visual test suite (plot should look like expected) so automated may not pick things up. Certainly if all those tests are passed I am happy to move on. Karl > On 27 Jul 2018, at 8:28 am, gregor herrmann wrote: > > On Fri, 27 Jul 2018 08:17:18 +1000, Karl

Hi everyone, Thanks everyone for the responses - and Ole I do appreciate your enthusiasm for and the efforts with giza. I also take the point that pgplot has a problematic license and is effectively abandonware. (Well I would say development stopped as it reached a natural finish point, but ye

Hi Karl, I am the Debian maintainer of giza, and I created this bug to move from pgplot to giza. The giza lib is already used in dpuser/qfitsview, wcslib, gyoto, and others. While it still does not implement all functionality, the subset is good enough for many (probably most of the) end user appl
