#38321: gnuplot @4.6.1 Enhancement: add variant for old bitmap formats --------------------------+---------------------- Reporter: predoehl@… | Owner: mojca@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.1.3 Resolution: | Keywords: haspatch Port: gnuplot | --------------------------+---------------------- Comment (by mojca@…): The name {{{bmpterm}}} seems a bit weird to me. My first thought would be that it support the windows BMP file format. I would prefer to avoid an additional option in MacPorts completely and just make PBM terminal enabled by default, but option {{{--with-bitmap- terminals}}} enables lots of other completely obsolete terminals which only clutter {{{set term}}} when showing the list of available terminals and help confuse the user. Gnuplot version 4.6.2 is going to be release within a week. I suggest to add this option together with upgrade (possibly in two separate commits, but so that people won't have to upgrade/rebuild gnuplot twice), but I'm looking for other suggestions for the name: - bitmap_terminals (With this name I would probably consider PNG as a bitmap terminal and would want to enable that option to get PNG working.) - pbm - ... (?) For the description I would use something like "Enable PBM/Portable Bit Map (and other older bitmap terminals)". Another option would be to patch gnuplot in such a way that PBM would be enabled by default.
