So, here's my little grain of sand to try and help out in this amazing tool that MathGL is. I hope some of it proves useful.
Best regards,

Hello Alexey (and everyone else),
MathGL has now become an important part of my C++ toolkit. I have been testing the latest (2.1.3) version of the library, and I would like to share a few issues that I have encountered, as well as some suggestions that I have to improve it even further.
- For some values of Rotate, the tick labels appear inside the box instead of outside (see attached figure). This is rather undesirable since it can lead to the graph overlapping the labels, as shown.
- A similar issue occurs with the colorbar labels. If they get rotated, they overlap with the colorbar itself. This can be seen in the colorbar examples from the manual.
- I have tried to set transparencies to 1D graphs, but didn't manage. It would be quite convenient to have, for instance, several Area graphs with transparencies so that one can see them all even when they overlap.
- The Cones plot is widely used in finance, however I have always seen it with bars instead of cones. An option, perhaps? Bars() does not seem to behave the same way...
- I like the Box() function a lot, however when plotting a complicated graph with lots of lines, the axes and ticks get a little in the way, in my opinion. I would suggest to create a HalfBox() function that draws only the box sides that are behind the graph itself. This is very common in many graphing tools, like Matlab (see second attached picture).
So, here's my little grain of sand to try and help out in this amazing tool that MathGL is. I hope some of it proves useful.
Hmm. These 2 points look as a bug. Can you send me the angles?
OK. I'll add transparency for the Area, Bars, and similar 1D functions.
Do you mean this http://mathgl.sourceforge.net/doc_en/doc_en_21.html#Cones-sample ?
Grid() function do exactly this.

I found one more thing, concerning Colorbar this time. Colorbar("A>") works fine, but Colorbar("A>I") makes the bar collide with the graph.
