Description 

--> prow dev$pix 256 device=psi_land
--> prow dev$pix 250 device=psi_land append+
/tmp/psk8583a

Two issues arise here:

1 - this should not have caused a flush, we wanted to append

2 - the next flush does not create viable postscript

So, in the end, you cannot get PyRAF to overplot this way, as is.

  • status changed from new to closed.
  • resolution set to fixed.

Fixed in r801.

There was a problem in the logic of when to create a new GkiIrafKernel? object. The comparison fixed would always be False, for one. Then, the appended plots would be garbage because the appended metacode was going into a brand new GkiBuffer? (part of a brand new GkiIrafKernel?) instead of into the existing GkiBuffer?. The brand new one would not have any of the initialization metacode in it, so psikern could not create valid postscript.
