Description Tim Northover 2004-04-13 04:23:04 UTC

When using graph to output a postscript file, the file is generated but gs (& gv etc) throw a rangecheck exception. I've found a patch that

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. echo 0 1 2 3 4 5 | graph -T ps > tmp.ps
2. gv tmp.ps
3.

Actual Results:  
A rangecheck exception in get, apparantly.

Expected Results:  
displayed a straight line graph through the points (0,1), (2,3), (4,5)

The following URL has a patch that corrects the problem on my system (with

I'm sorry, I didn't feel confident modifying the ebuild myself, I'll get round
to learning how to do that soon.
