- About ContourMap Demo V1.3.1:
-
- ContourMap draws contour maps of three dimensional data interactively.
- Input data can be either from a regular grid or from an irregular set of
- points in the x y plane. Output can be quality printed on a Laserwriter,
- copied to the clipboard or saved in a PICT file.
- Control is provided over the form of the contour map, including line
- thickness and dash pattern, label positioning, colour, text font, size
- and style, x and y axes, line drawing, grid markings and map size. Maps
- can be edited interactively allowing for good control over final touchups.
- ContourMap also provides data editing capabilities as well as missing data
- interpolation.
-
- Hardware Required:
- o This version only runs on Macs with floating point chips (68881 or
- 68882) and requires approx 800k of memory on a 1 bit monitor machine,
- with larger requirements for colour monitors (4 bit needs an extra 180k).
-
- Feature List:
- o Regular grid of data or irregularly spaced data
- o Interactive editing of map
- o Interactive editing of data
- o Contour line labelling
- o Arbitrary text labels
- o Arbitrary line segments with the ability to confine contouring within or
- outside of closed polygons
- o X and Y axes
- o Data point markers
- o Either line drawing or shading mode
- o Colour, line thickness (laserwriter hairlines) and font detail selection
- o PICT overlays
- o dashed lines
- o Multifinder friendly with background processing support
-
- This demo version only operates on the provided data sets.
-
- Release Notes v1.1
- o Added PICT overlays.
- o Added dashed line support.
- o Added ability to plot data values as data markers.
- o Fixed bugs from v1.0.2
-
- Release Notes v1.2
- o General polishing with added progress dialogs for time consuming tasks.
- o Fixed v1.1 bug which, after specifying a grid beyond the current bounds
- of data, the bounds were not updated causing strange behaviour.
-
- Release Notes v1.2.1
- o Correctly centre data markers on data point - previously only some
- characters from a font were centred correctly.
- o Shade polygon info stored in replay files - previously shade polygons
- needed to be recalculated when playing back a replay file hence losing
- any shade settings.
- o Corrected positioning of labels which follow contours on LW output.
-
- Release Notes v1.2.2
- o Corrected the "New" option on the file menu. Previously, a new table of
- numbers had to be saved and then reopened before contouring would work.
- o Prompt for saving a replay file only if the contour map is changed.
- o Corrected using line segments from script files.
- o Corrected the shade polygon algorithm where sometimes a shade polygon
- would form as a bulge outside of a closed polygon.
-
- Release Notes v1.3.0
- o Extended the size of data sets allowed (32768 data pts or 512 rows or cols).
- o Interpolation option with script files.
- o Allow the manual specification of tick mark positioning on axes.
- o Multiple selection of contour labels for clearing.
- o Ability to hide selected contour segments.
- o Fixed some bugs: replay file replaying, grid specification, plot size spec
- input, null axis labels in script files.
-
- Release Notes v1.3.1
- o Fixed bugs related to allocating memory for large data sets.
