In my earlier posting on this I reported that the point was drawn on my
machine running
Windows 98 and Mathematica 3.0
I have re-run the test with Mm 3.0 on Windows 98 and this time the point
*did not* appear.
Here are tests with Mathematica 3.0 on Windows 98, Power Mac OS8 and
NeXTSEP 3.3 NeXTSTEP 3.3. seems not to have this problem.
Show[
Graphics[{Dashing[{0.01}],Line[{{-1,1},{2,1}}],PointSize[0.1],Point[{0,0}]},
PlotRange->All, Frame->True]]
Windows 98: point not displayed
Power Mac OS8: point not displayed
NeXTSTEP 3.3: point displayed
Show[
Graphics[{PointSize[0.1],Point[{1,1}],
Dashing[{0.01}],Point[{2,1}],Line[{{3,0},{3,2}}],Point[{4,1}]},PlotRange->{{
0,5},{0,2}}, Frame->True]]
(*it seems that Dashing + Line is needed to suppress the point*)
Windows 98: first and second points displayed *third point not
displayed* Power Mac OS8: first and second points displayed *third
point not displayed* NeXTSTEP 3.3: first and second points displayed
*third point displayed*
