Bugs

NaNs and +/-inf are currently filtered out of curve and histogram data.

This filtering is not performed for other data (e.g. contours, lines)

Line segments

The joints between line segments for curves can be very visible if the lines are thick; for instance

chips> clear()
chips> add_curve([1,1.4,2], [1,2,2])
chips> set_curve(['symbol.style', 'none', 'line.thickness', 10])

produces

[The join between the two lines at (1.4,2) is not smooth]

Bugs fixed in CIAO 4.5

The following is a list of bugs that were fixed in the CIAO 4.5 software release.

End points get clipped if using log scaling and the next-to-end point is negative.

If the next-to-end point is negative and data are plotted with log scale, the end point is not plotted, so that

chips> add_curve([1,2,3,4], [1,-1,2,3]) 
chips> log_scale(Y_AXIS)

only shows two data points at (3,2) and (4,3), i.e. it misses out the point at (1,1).
