menu specs
o  middleButtonMenuExtraSlice
This resource specification was automatically generated
by the MenuEditor of ST/X.

Usage example(s):

Instance protocol:

accessing
o  adjust: layoutSymbol
(comment from inherited method)
set the adjust (how the image is displayed);
currently, support #topLeft, #center, #fitBig, #fitSmall and #fit:
#topLeft - image is displayed as usual
#center - image is shown centered
#fitBig - big images are shrunk to make it fit the view
#fitSmall - small images are magnified to make it fit the view,
#fit - all images are magnified to fit the view
#topLeftNoZoom - image is displayed as usual, and magnification is reset
#smoothFitBig - fitBig with smoothing
#smoothFitSmall - fitSmall with smoothing
#smoothFit - fit with smoothing

aspects
o  formatHolder

defaults
o  defaultScript

drawing
o  generateDataFileIn: aDirectory
the format of data expected by gnuplot depends on the type of plot:
regular plot: a number of values (each in a separate line)
multiCol plots: a number of lines, each containing a row
here, handle common situations;
however, if the data does not match, the program should have prepared the
data into a string and present it as such.
Strings will be sent as-is to the file

o  generateImage
generates the magnifiedImage right away

self new
script:(GnuplotGraphView defaultScript);
data:(RandomGenerator new next:50);
open

o  generateMagnifiedImage
super generateMagnifiedImage.

o  image
if a fallback is shown, fetch the image from that one

o  redrawX: x y: y width: w height: h
name:' sqrt(x) '.

o  showWarning

o  sizeChanged: how from: oldExtentOrNil
my view has changed the size (not the contents)

o  updateImageAfterSizeChange
(comment from inherited method)
self clear.

Examples:


Notice that everything between [exBegin] and [exEnd] is extracted by the html-doc generator to create nicely formatted and clickable executable examples in the generated html-doc. (see the browsers class-documentation menu items for more) trying the widget as standAlone view (with a fix script): 
   GnuplotGraphView new 
       script:(GnuplotGraphView defaultScript);
       model:(ValueHolder with:(Random new next:100));
       adjust:#smoothFit;
       extent:400@300;
       open
trying the widget as standAlone view (with no fix script): 
   GnuplotGraphView new

       open
embedded in another view: 
   |top v|
