Description Matthew Truch 2005-04-22 01:36:38 UTC
Version:           1.1.0_beta1 (using KDE KDE 3.3.0)
Installed from:    Slackware Packages
OS:                Linux

Plots disappear when the widow is resized to be 'too' small.  It would be best if the window was not allowed to get so short as to not display the plots like it does in width, but the  individual plots should be allowed to be as small as possible (so the tickmarks touch).  This only seems to happen in the vertical direction; the horizontal direction is as I would expect it.

  This is a very long-standing behaviour of Kst.  The new minimum size code 
could be expanded to handle this though.  The question is, what do we do if 
someone places so many plots that the minimum size is greater than the screen 
size?

What happens when someone has too many plots to fit in the width of their kst window now (since the width is already constrained)?  Kst could pop up a dialog saying there are too many plots to fit.  Or perhaps better, if a plot is too small to display, a little 'too small plot' icon could appear, so you can still type 'z' to zoom it.

   It sets the minimum size of the widget - so it's not shrinkable beyond 
that.  I think we should do that in the other dimension as well.

It seems the plots disappear when the width is too small as well (for example, 15 columns with 15 plots).

Draw cross pattern when plotis too small so the user knows it is there at least.

If everyone is happy with the previous patch then I would suggest we mark this bug as fixed.
Comment 7 Netterfield 2005-05-25 19:01:46 UTC
OK with me.

Fine with me
Comment 9 Andrew Walker 2005-05-25 19:25:23 UTC
Marking "missing" plot with cross hatches provides sufficient feedback to the user.
