Hi all, I am using the metapost graph macro a lot, but it has a few minor annoyances. Maybe some of you have already solved the following problems: * The direction of arrowheads in gdrawarrow does not follow the curve it is on. * Reading data from a file only works if there is exactly one empty line between data for each curve and the error message is not helpful * Data with exponent as 1e4 cannot have a capital E. * Curves from data are always polygonal, unless one changes the true argument to GMcvi_ in Gdraw_. If this is set to false a very special kind of curve is created. Why does the branch for false have post- and precontrol of the curve, not just .. which makes a nice, smooth curve? * Axes can only be in the llft of the graph, not through the origin. * Frames can only be avoided if the internal variable Gneedfr_ is set to false. An empty argument to frame would be nice. I am very interested in any remedies to these issues. regards, -- Brian Elmegaard ([email protected]) Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, Energy Engineering, Technical University of Denmark, Phone +45 4525 4169 Fax +45 4593 5215 http://www.et.dtu.dk/staff/be
