Hallo Kamil and all the others,
I recently installed kmatplot-0.3.1, and I really like it. SuSe is
now distributing binaries for Suse7.3 on their homepage
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/supplementary/KDE/update_for_7.3/applicati
ons/kmatplot-0.3.1-6.rpm
Of course, version number and Suse version number may change.
Very nice work, I like to encourage you to carry on.
Of course there are some things which still do not run as smoothly
as possible. However I'm already trying to use kmatplot for
'production'.
And of course I have some small feature request/questions (?)
(in order of my personal importance):
0)) Any plans for a little bit more elaborated docu/tutorial ?
Would be really important that others can test and use Kmatplot !
Now my questions:
1) Is it possible to use greek letters, symbols (like e.g. symbol.ttf font)
together with other fonts in one row of text
(legend, axis text etc.). One quite often wants to print
something like 'cross section sigma' where sigma is the greek
letter. In addtion, the same is true for sub- or suerscripts.
With that feature kmatplot can already nicely be used to produce
'ready to publish pictures'.
2) Can there any calculations be done inside kmatplot, e.g. I have
one column with time values and want to calculate a new column
with, say, sin(time) ?
3) May be you can put a small plan for future releases on
sourceforge, which can be discussed in the mailing list.
4) Plans for a fitting module ? In connection with that, there is a
very nice framework for datay acquisition/analysis with astonishing
featues called ROOT (http://root.cern.ch). however for a lot of it is
much "oversized". It is also open source (C++), and may be some code
may be used from that. E.g. it has a well proved fitting module,
(function minimizer) MINUIT, which now exsists for I think about
30 years
I'm sorry, requests and no end, but your program seems to be
the first free linux data analysis and plot programm, ready to use
for non programmers. Keep on going !!!
I'll test it a little bit more now....
Aloha from Giessen
Carsten
