Caveats
Clipping labels is done by point clipping.
This means that if the point is in the data range, the whole label is displayed; otherwise, the whole label is clipped.
Bugs
Setting the axis label
If the an axis label is set using the axis.x.label or axis.y.label attributes of an add_<object> call then the string must be surrounded by double quotes if it contains spaces; for example:
chips> add_curve(time, zoff, ['axis.y.label', '"Z offset (arcsec)"'])
Bugs fixed in CIAO 4.5
The following is a list of bugs that were fixed in the CIAO 4.5 software release.
Setting a label to a user loaded font will cause ChIPS to SEGV.
(32-bit OSX)
chips> from pychips.all import *
chips> add_label(0.20, 0.25, 'PLOT')
chips> load_font('gothic', 'a010013l.pfb')
chips> set_label(['font', 'gothic')
At this point the ChIPS server - and hence the plot - disappears.
Unable to set coordsys via ChipsLabel object
In CIAO 4.3 you could say:
chips> li = ChipsLabel() chips> li.coordsys = PLOT_NORM chips> add_label(0.5, 0.9, "LABEL", li)
In CIAO 4.4, it fails:
chips ERROR: Unknown or unsupported <obj>.<attribute> entry: label.coordsys
