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.

Please follow the same bug in the tklib tracker. See https://core.tcl.tk/tklib/tktview?name=1903306fff

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.

I have been looking into this:
- The fix you suggest solves the immediate syntactical problem
- The scale values for the axis remain unchanged though - you get the same axis back.
- When I fixed that bit, I got strange results (the wrong range, only a part of the labels I 
  expected drawn).
- The code as it is is too naive: I need to change a few private variables in the scaling array 
  as well (they hold the transformation from world coordinates to pixels)

The console show/puts commands are already gone - they were indeed way out of place, 
except for debugging purposes ;).

The -scale option is more serious: I will look into this. Thanks for reporting it.
