Surface Evolver Newsletter 19
August 20, 2005
by Ken Brakke, brakke@susqu.edu
Surface Evolver version 2.26 is now available at
http://www.susqu.edu/brakke/evolver/evolver.htm.
This is the first full official new version release since
version 2.24 in October, 2004.
Announcement of interest to fans of Joseph Plateau:
In my spare time, I have been doing an amateur translation of
Plateau's famous 1873 book on soap films and surface tension
phenomena. You may find the results at
http://www.susqu.edu/brakke/PlateauBook/PlateauBook.html.
New features and changes:
PDF version of the manual has been improved, with bookmarks and links.
Runtime help command now finds its keyword information from a new
separate help text file, rather than extracting it from the HTML
version of the documentation.
Added "quietload" toggle to supress echoing of command files being
read in; also corresponding "-Q" command line option.
Quoted strings can be concatenated on input, for example,
printf "This is a " "long format string.\n"
New "reverse_orientation" command to internally reverse the orientation
of selected edges and facets.
Added "eigenvalues" array, so user can access all eigenvalues
produced by "ritz", e.g. "print eigenvalues[2]".
Added "binary_printf" command to write binary files for external
applications needing a binary format.
Piping of command output with | to external commands now works in
Windows like it does in unix.
