Change log:
- cut/copy/paste,
- undo/redo,
- group/ungroup objects,
- multiple pages,
- arbitrary number of axes per graph,
- formulas ( still under development ),
- surfaces and contours can display non-gridded data ( using Delunay
triangulation ),
- colored area under surface, v-gradient, plotting 4d data ( still under
development ),
- XY plots - stairs,
- custom tics values,
- fast selecting of graph elements by middle button click,
- general data storing policy - vectors are stored as columns,
- many bug fixes.
Notes:
1.
File format has been modified. You can lose some attributes of saved graphs.
2.
Data storing policy has changed.
XY plots:
Vectors are stored as columns, not rows.
You have to transpose all vectors after you read an old file
( Edit/Transpose option in the worksheet main menu ).
3.
Data storing policy has changed.
Image,contours,surfaces:
Data channel ordering has changed.
It was:
0.Data
1.Column index vector
2.Row index vector
It is:
0.Column index vector
1.Row index vector
2.Data
All you data will be read as Column index vector, you will have to set it as
Data again. Use Edit/Cut, Edit/Pase options from the worksheet main menu.
4.
You can safely configure KMatplot with an option: --without-gl, it does not
require OpenGL anymore.
5.
Installing and running in a non-default directory
( example dir: /home/kamil/kmatplot )
./configure --prefix=/home/kamil/kmatplot
make install
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/home/kamil/kmatplot/lib
env KDEDIR=/home/kamil/kmatplot /home/kamil/kmatplot/bin/kmatplot
6.
KMatplot will crash immediately after start if it doesn't find its resource
files, so it is important to provide a correct KDEDIR shell variable if the
program is not installed in the default directory. Build system fails to
detect a default KDE path on some distributions, especially on Suse. You can
pass KDE path to configure using --prefix option:
./configure --prefix=/opt/kde2
