from the layout window. The main reason for this is to keep the
box out of the image when doing "plot svg". The "plot" command was
also modified to always do a plot of the entire cell in the active
layout window if the box is not present.
(scrollbar, title bar, etc.) from the output if the command is
called from the non-GUI-wrapper environment (where the border area
is part of the rendered output). This was required due to an
unsolved bug in which calling magic to write SVG output from the
wrapper in some pathological case exposed a Tk bug that caused
the Tk grid manager to infinite loop, filling memory without
limit.
distributed installations, where the immediate installation location
is different from the final installation location, but in the case
where it is not desirable to put the entire install hierarchy as a
subdirectory of DESTDIR.
the compiler. Some are obscure functions (plot verstatec hasn't
been used in years) but others (like SPICE distributed junctions)
are potentially significant sources of unexpected crashes on
systems that don't zero uninitialized memory.
Cairo graphics package (magic -d XR), will map the display onto
an SVG surface and save it to a file using the Cairo SVG backend.
Due to the simplicity of the mapping, there are no options to this
plot command; it just creates a file that is a (scalable!)
replica of the layout window.
