Another "plot" defect under Java; a Vista problem

[Devon McCormick]

FWIW - I've noticed another failing of "plot" under the Java (jee.exe)
front-end (the other being lack of support for "mesh 0") - the color
indicators of keys are all the same, e.g.

   'key l1 l2 l3 l4;pensize 5' plot 1 o. 1 2 3 4+/i:3j99

returns nice, fat plot lines but indistinguishable colors in the key.

Also, under Vista, the close button on the plot window appears not to work.

Can you confirm that your issue is with the thickness of the lines in the key and not the actual colors?
Does this solve the issue for you?

    'key l1 l2 l3 l4;pensize 5;keystyle fat' plot 1 o. 1 2 3 4+/i:3j99

I'm not clear which close button you are referring to? The only buttons I get when I open a plot window with the command above, are in the title bar of thw window (i.e. the minimize, maximze and close controls for a Vista dialog). The x button certainly closes the window for me.

Also I understand (but can't find the source!) that this forum is not really supposed to be used at the moment as there is no beta version of J. I think we are supposed to post this sort of thing in the General forum at the moment.

 Ric -

thanks for the tip of "keystyle fat" - this helps the problem of the keys
being indistinguishable.

I posted to this forum because I'm reporting a bug but it's a low-priority
issue with which, I suspect, most people are not too concerned.

The Vista problem is probably not J-specific.  I encountered it again today
with another application that had a response window open I didn't see: it
appeared to not be responding to the close request because the sub-window
had focus (?) - maybe - I haven't fully tracked it down yet.
I'll report on the wacky world of Vista as I discover new things.

Regards,

Devon
