Tcl Library Source Code

Using the xconfig or yconfig command with the -scale option results in an "Unknown or invalid value" error.

Script showing problem:

package require Tk
package require Plotchart

canvas .c
pack .c

set s [Plotchart::createXYPlot .c {0 100 10} {0 100 10}]
$s xconfig -scale {0 200 20}


The problem is in Plotchart::AxisConfig, in the file plotaxis.tcl around line 492.  The "idx" value is the index into a list with a single value per option, and it is used to index into the axis_option_values which has two values per option.  One possible fix is to multiply the idx by 2 before using it on the axis_option_values.

  set clear   [lindex  $axis_option_clear  $idx]
>>  set idx [expr {2 * $idx}]
  set values  [lindex  $axis_option_values [incr idx]]


Also, in the plotaxis.tcl file there is "console show" and "puts" command in the Plotchart::DrawXaxis routine which seem out of place.

The error has been solved, but the effect is not quite what one would expect: the axis is not completely redefined. This needs to be investigated.
