Release notes for 0.4.0

Starting from this release, octplot is enabled/disabled using
octplot_enable/octplot_disable. toggle_octplot has been renamed to
octplot_toggle.

OctPlot has been tested with octave versions up to 2.9.10.

For a full list of changes, please see the file Changelog. Notable
points:

New features
* patches can now be concave. patch color can be specified per-vertex
* improved contouring: contourf & clabel
* figure handles are now integers corresponding to the figure number
* files now install in better directories. Mac builds should work out
  of the box
* rendering of surface objects can now be done in shading faceted,
  interp and flat (see help shading), also surface can use alpha
  channel (note: this is screen only -- hardcopy does not support
  alpha)
* octplot should now compile under MSVC
* caxis (see help caxis)

Notable bug fixes

* layering is now done in the correct order
* clf will not create a new axes
* arrows are now drawn much more efficiently
* speedup of configure script
* improved and debugged bar/barh
* successive calls to colorbar will not add new colorbars!
* __contourc__ will now not split single contours into multiple lines


Release notes for 0.3.9

This release added some new features any many bug fixes. For a full list, 
please consult Changelog. A summary of noteable features:

* added layering support - objects are now layered in the order their 
handles are arranged. See the layer_demo
* added arrowheads support lo lines using the arrowhead, arrowlength, 
arrowwidth , & arrowratio properties -- help line_props
* new properties for axes: box, xaxislocation, yaxislocation. 
color, xcolor & ycolor can now accept "none"
as a value 
* axis command improvements: now accepts 
on/off/equal arguments
* box, quiver, plotyy, stem, barh, & pareto added.
* new and probably improved figure handling

Release notes for 0.3.5

New features:

* toogle_octplot now clears all ploting commands when octplot is
toggled off, so normal gnuplot usage should be possibel after an even
number of toggles (Thanks to the octplot debian porting team).
* Markers can now be filled - MarkerFaceColor & MarkerEdgeColor line 
properties
* zoomstack is now axes specific. Try the right mouse button to go back in the
stack, shift-left button to autoscale.
* surface can now handle matrix,vector or empty xdata & ydata
internally which makes for faster drawing and lower memory usage
* legends - legends are still in their infancy. However some control over
their appearance is possible. It is also possible to set the line
legends using the octave ";;" notation i.e. plot(1:10,"b-;blue line;")
-- help legend_props,legend.
* pie,stem charts -- help pie, help stem
* bars - bar & barh are starting to look good thanks to efforts by Michael
Schmid -- help bar,barh

Release notes for 0.3.0

New features:

* patch -- help patch, help patch_props
* surface objects - OctPlot is still 2D, so the Z coordinate of the surface 
determines only color as defined by the figures colormap and the axes' clim
-- help surface_props, help pcolor, help colorbar
* better manual control over axes ticks & tick labels -- help axes_props

Release notes for 0.2.5

New features

* install target -- ./configure --help
* rotatable text --  help text_props
* eps,ps,pdf,png,jpg hardcopy -- help print


Release notes for 0.2.0

Major new features in this release:

* subplots -- look at subplot.m
* log axis -- look at loglog.m, semilogx.m, semilogy.m
* contour -- look at contour.m
* missing value support using NaN
* better auto ticks
* better eps output -- look at print.m

RoadMap:

Release 0.2.5 

mainly a bug fixing release 


Release 0.3.0

The "Text release": Axis labels, tick marks, legends, and titles should
work flawlessly. This includes a complete overhaul of the text object:

* move to the FTGL rendering library for rotateable, anti-alised fonts.
* adding a "femtoTeX" parser which will parse at least the following
TeX constructs: ^ _ {} \Alpha-\Zeta \alpha-\zeta

These enhancements will affect all text objects including axis labels,
titles, and tick marks


Release 0.3.5 

mainly a bug fixing release 


Release 0.4.0

The "2D release": I will add all the missing 2d functionality -- patch
objects and the following functions

patch, piechart, bar, area

maybe arrow and errorbar


Release 0.4.5 

mainly a bug fixing release. 

At this point octplot should prove to be a viable alternative to gnuplot
for 2d graphs
