<h2>Ploticus 2.33 - 2 Jun '06 - New features</h2>
<ul>
<li> direct pixel data point symbols for gd and x11, to provide sharp non-distorted data points.
In the example below the first two rows use the new direct pixel data points, while the 3rd row shows
the vector-based data points that have always been available.<br>
<a href="../gallery/symbols2.htm"><img src="../gallery/symbols2.gif" border=0></a>
<br><br>
<li> proc venndisk - some new attributes to support "vennmag" plots (a series of disks resting on X axis
to compare magnitudes). Here's an example:
<a href="../gallery/vennmag.htm"><img src="../gallery/vennmag.gif" border=0></a>
<br><br>
<li> clickmaps - new clickmapurl syntax to allow deployment in a new window, etc. Syntax is like this:
<br> <tt> clickmapurl: [target=new]http://abc.com/cgi-bin/...</tt>
<br><br>
<li> SVG - proc settings / config files - svg_linkparms attribute discontinued. Use the new clickmapurl syntax (see above)
<br><br>
<li> proc axis - stubround attribute - solves the old problem of getting stubs at round number locations when plot
area minima is not at a round location.
<br><br>
<li> proc lineplot - gapmissing: autozero
<br><br>
<li> proc bars - new attributes for better control of bar labels: labelmustfit, labelmaxlen, labelselect
<br><br>
<li> pl command line -ping option
<br><br>
<li> proc scatterplot - cluster attribute - default will now be 'no'
<br><br>
<li> prefab scat - new parm ptstyle= filled or outline ..... and changed to use the new direct pixel data point symbols.
</ul>
<br>
<br>
<h2> 2.33 Bug fixes</h2>
<ul>
<li> clickmap - url encoding is now performed on variable contents and axis values that are substituted into clickmapurls
<br><br>
<li> proc categories - uniqueness check wasn't applied when categories listed literally. Useful in apps where the list is
generated by another program or whatever.
<br><br>
<li> improved handling of very long command line args - each arg is silently truncated to 255 chars.
var=value parameters cannot begin with a dash as may have been previously tolerated.
var=value parameters are now intercepted before entering the arg name big decision structure.
<br><br>
<li> $dategroup() function didn't know about datetime separator characters other than '.'
<br><br>
<li> issue where the "circuit breaker tripped" message was appearing when autorange is used but no stubs / no tics were being generated
<br><br>
<li> ploticus api code bug - prefabs were not usable via api
<br><br>
<li> made adjustments to improve rounding error when axis begins in negative space and reaches zero, zero was shown a very tiny scientific notation number
<br><br>
<li> proc processdata - percents - resulting data values were written as enclosed in quotes which made them unplottable.
<br><br>
<li> fixed many compile warnings when building w/ gcc4 -Wall
<br><br>
<li> drawing to out-of-bounds locations (GD) resulted in huge image.
The pl bounding box was set to a huge rectangle due to a wild draw op..
then the final GD crop operation used the huge bounding box to set the size for the cropped result.
Fixed by limiting final result to 'pagesize'.
<br><br>
<li> proc bars - longways labels on bars that travel beyond plot area boundary weren't being shown/centered properly.
<br><br>
<li> in the -scale parameter, if you used -scale 1,2 the scale did not change but -scale 1.01,2 does work.
Fixed- some code was only taking action if x scale != 1.0
<br><br>
<li> svg - opening <svg> tag didn't have xmlns:xlink parameter (always); font size didn't have "pt" on end (firefox 1.5 / easytimeline)
<br><br>
<li> proc getdata - instability when there were more field names than available data fields. Fixed - number of field names now sets
the 'nfields' idea of how many fields there are. This only happens when nfields is not explicitly specified.
<br><br>
<li> scatterplot - short line segments as symbols - no legend entries were appeariing
<br><br>
<li> proc legend - longer line segments were colliding with other entries in "across" format
<br><br>
<li> proc rangesweep - instability when bad values encountered in data
<br><br>
<li> proc annotate - box outline color not being set properly
<br><br>
<li> proc bars - showvalues - conflict between "backbox" and "labeldetails: color="
<br><br>
<li> pl -errfile stdout (w/ no other args) gave seg fault
<br><br>
<li> prefab scat needs a maxinpoints= parameter (for curvefit)
<br><br>
<li> heatmaps - with contentfield= and values 0.0 -> 1.0 .. cutoff table was not automatically created properly.
<br><br>
<li> prefabs - some prefab parameters cannot be set in a data file.. because they are set
in the prefab script before getting the data. Need to go thru and fix or document.
<br><br>
<li> -tag command line arg wasn't generating the <embed> tag for svg
<br><br>
<li> scatterplot - heatmap-related cell coloring bug
<br><br>
<li> draw prefab - win32 issue with dumpfile
<br><br>
<li> autorange - code bug involving nearest=hours
</ul>
