Hi, ya all. Cameron Smith and Nancy Blachman reported several graphics bugs in their book, here I'll add one more. ----------------- When a circle is way larger then the PlotRange, there is a problem. The one below will beep. The error dialog says something about a PostScript error. Show[ Graphics[ Circle[{0,0},20], PlotRange->{{0,6},{-1,1}} ] ] This problem is especially annoying. I am writing a program that will plot osculating circles of a curve, this bug made it impossible. ----------------- FullOptions do not return explicit value for some options. (this is mentioned in Smith/Blachman book, p.292) ParametricPlot[{t, Sin@t}, {t, 0, 6 Pi}, AspectRatio->Automatic, Background->GrayLevel[.8], Frame->True ] FullOptions[%, { ColorOutput, DefaultColor,PlotRegion }] ---------------- Xah Lee 74631.731 at compuserve.com Quote of the day: Read this sentence and follow its instruction until it tells you to do what you are doing.
