UNRESOLVED BUGS
- Reported by Michael Ho (see bug_test/scale_off.pl)
Heuristics to determine default values for y axis can be terribly
wrong in certain circumstances.
? mgjv -
Hotspots stuff needs a lot of thought. Currently linespoints graphs
will end up with whichever hotspot was drawn last, which is probably
not what we want. Lines have a hotspot on a line segment, instead of
on the point of interest. Areas have hotspots in the wrong place.
? mgjv -
Have not been able to reproduce this, as far as I can tell, $type is
never tainted inherently. If it is ever tainted, it got tainted in the
calling program, and should be untainted there.
report:
when running in tained mode (-T), I get an error about the $type in
draw_data_set is insecure in the eval-line. I fixed this "the ugly" way by
adding a line to tain it within the module:
sub draw_data_set($$$) # GD::Image, \@data, $ds
{
[...]
my $type = $s->{types}->[$ds-1] || $s->{default_type};
if ($type =~ /^([a-zA-Z0-9]+)$/) { $type = $1; } else { $type = +""; };
Reported by Martin Lorensen <mlo@uni2.dk>
+ area chart doesn't do overwrite? Workaround: sum up your data sets,
and order them backwards (highest one first). Output graph will look
like it's incremental.
only bar charts do overwrite. Necessary to implement generally?
+ mixed graphs, overwrite = 1 has no effect
Yolanda Herbert <herbert@odo.edwards.af.mil>
NOT REALLY BUGS
- The whole naming of x_label.*, x_tick.*, x_axis.* is very confused
and confusing. Hard to fix without breaking backward compatibility.
- overwrite == 2 only makes sense if all the data is either positive,
or negative
- A positive y_min_value doesn't work with bars or area, bars and area
always are set off against 0. Wether this is a bug, or wanted behaviour
might be a point for discussion. I've decided that it's wanted.
- Do I really need to create the GD object right at the start? And if I
do, can't I be a bit more clever about allowing people to draw on it
before plotting the graph?
- init_graph does too much work for pies. Needs to be split up. Very low
priority.
FIXED IN 1.22
! two_axes only works correctly with negative numbers and zero_axis for
bars and area graphs.
! Fixed estimation of y_tick_number attribute in axestype::set_max_min
sub. A lot of code added there.
FIXED IN 1.21
! y_min_value doesn't automatically get adapted for bars and area if 0
is not included in the range, but only if user sets it. If left to
figure it out itself, GIFgraph does it right.
! infinite loop when two data sets with only one point, two_axes option,
and one data set has a negative member
! two_axes doesn't work correctly with negative numbers and zero_axis
! y_max_value doesn't get adapted for bars and area if all negative values
! The order of the determination of minima and maxima, and the calculation
tick numbers by _best_ends needs to be revaluated.
FIXED IN 1.20
! Spacing of text relative to axes. Became apparent when testing with
large TTF fonts.
! as I was using GIFgraph, I modified one line which could be a bug in Scott
Prahl's addings :
In my package, I replaced line 631 :
my $label = $s->{x_values}[$i];
by
my $label = $s->{x_labels}[$i];

! legend text now has its own colour. Previously was drawn in same colour
as axes. Silly.
! (retrospectively documented) Sometimes, for one graph, the values are
0 everywhere (for examples for a disk with no activity) and
GIFgraph fails with a "Illegal division by zero", check _best_ends
"Benjamin Yang" <byang@betasphere.com>
FIXED IN 1.11
! _best_ends with (-1,-1) loops infinitely
! for some graphs, numerical X axis ticks are one pixel off
FIXED IN 1.10
! When first value of a dataset is undef for a lines graph, things go
wrong.
(report by Arto Nurmela <arto.nurmela@nmp.nokia.com>)
FIXED IN 1.04
! logo positioning and legends don't work very well together.
FIXED IN 1.03
! When data values are large, and x_min_value is larger than 0, the
horizontal axis doesn't get drawm correctly. (check zero_axis option)
(see sample41)
(problem found after report from jackb@pgw.picker.com)
FIXED IN 1.02
! GIFgraph::Colour::read_rgb() falls over on comment lines.
(reported: adamm@genomecorp.com)
! GIFgraph::Colour::read_rgb() contains inline my-declaration of $line,
breaks perl5.003
(reported: Pat Becker <pmb@iss.net>)
! if a colour name doesn't exist, program falls over with a cryptic message
about some undefined array index.
(reported: adamm@genomecorp.com)
! x_label_skip doesn't skip ticks. (also added x_all_ticks option)
(reported: adamm@genomecorp.com)
FIXED IN 1.01
! for loops break in 5.003 because of 'my' scoping (grrrr)
(reported: Brian Eitrem <beitrem@digitalriver.com>)
! ticks get drawn in front of the data set
(reported: Honza Pazdziora <adelton@informatics.muni.cz>)
! length estimate of y labels needs to be done better
(reported: Honza Pazdziora <adelton@informatics.muni.cz>)
FIXED IN 1.00
! GIFgraph::colour::sorted_colour_list() syntax error
! GIFgraph::colour pod documentation fixed
! placement of title is centered on gif, not on graph.
! linespoints graph type initialises two GD::Image objects
! 'make test' fails on all tests on win32. binmode() needed.
FIXED IN 0.99
! Cannot use any 'null' values in graphs
(reported: Lee Khandelwal <lee_khandelwal@il.us.swissbank.com>)
FIXED IN 0.95
! filled markers don't fill correctly when overlapping
FIXED IN 0.94
! area doesn't work with negative numbers
! Right axis doesn't get drawn when box_axis == 0 and two_axes == 1
! Color on front of 3D pies wrong with some data sets
(reported: by various people)
FIXED IN 0.91
! Segmentation fault for 3d pies where last slice is small
(reported: Dave Stafford <Dave.Stafford@mpn.cp.philips.com>)
