Ticket #295 (Fixed)Wed Jul 27 12:54:56 UTC 2011

Draw does not save to file a different y axis-only grid subdivision but uses the x value instead

Reported by: John Williams (567) Severity: Enhancement
Part: RISC OS: Application Release:
Milestone: Status Fixed

Details by John Williams (567):

Attempting to graph kg vertically versus stone/pounds horizontally, I created in A4 portrait an x-axis grid spacing (cm) 3 subdivision 14, and then edited the y-axis only setting to give grid spacing 3 (cm) and subdivision 5 for my kg and tenths of a kg.

This works fine except that, when the file saved and reloaded, the y subdivision value reverts to that set for the x subdivision. It has to be reset manually to produce the original grid that was supposedly saved.

Draw 1.18 (30-May-11)

This behaviour was present in 1.14, and even 1.11 distributed with RISC OS 3.7, so it may always have been there!

Unfortunately this behaviour is caused because the Draw file format doesn’t have any slots to hold a different y ratio, so on loading a file it just replicates x into y. Similarly the grid colour can be changed, but is not saved in the file so gets reset to the default blue on loading.

There are 3 possibilities
a) Do nothing, that’s just how it has always been.
b) Define a new Draw tag type which holds the extra info
c) Add it to the existing tag and change the file format version number

Option © will result in all copies of Draw everywhere rejecting the new file.

b sounds preferable IMHO. If/when someone investigates implementing this, are there any other bugs/enhancements which would also benefit from the inclusion of specific tag types?
