║ ZGRAFWIN HISTORY, ADDITIONS, MODIFICATIONS, AND MISCELLANEOUS INFO. ║
╚══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
Version 0.90, September 1990
Initial Release. First "Beta-test" version.
Version 0.91, October 1991
Added PCX file import capability. ZGRAFWIN can now import mono,
16-color, and 256-color PCX files. Scroll bars have been provided
to make it easier to scroll graphics images onscreen. Hope to have
PCX export capability soon!
Improved G(X,Y) graph a bit. Also, user can now MANUALLY specify
the (x,y) data range for X-Y Line Graphs, and the y-range for Bar
Graphs, since the automatic-scaling feature is not always
desirable...
Version 0.92, October 1991
Added monochrome PCX file-save capability. Hope to have 16-color
PCX saves available in next major release of the program. Added
crosshatch-fill options for pie, bar, and area graphs, which may be
useful for graph printing. Added some very basic online help.
Version 0.93, October 1991
Cleaned up pie graph appearance.
Version 0.94, November 1991
Added the full-screen editor.
Version 1.0, November 1991
Added the ability to save graphics images in 16-color PCX format.
Getting the 16-color PCX code running under Windows was an absolute
nightmare, but it's working now (thank God!).
I've also added the ability to place up to 30 text strings, each up
to 80 characters long, on graphs.
This version marks the first official, "non-beta" release of
ZGRAFWIN. I hope you like it!
Version 1.1, November 1991
Added ability to graph "non-functions" like circles, ellipses,
etc. in the x-y plane (see documentation). Fixed a few bugs.
Version 1.2, January 1992
Added ability to perform Direct-GDI printing, making for
better-looking graphs.
Version 1.3, January 1992
Added ZOOM and Expand/Reduce-view feature for F-2D and X/Y Line
Graphs. The vertical and horizontal scroll arrows may now be used
to move the relative position of the graph on the screen for these
two graphs. Made the character-font for graph titles a bit larger,
for better viewing. Cleaned up a few more bugs.
Version 1.4, February 1992
Added ability to graph up to 4 separate curves on F-2D graph.
Improved printing of graph titles.
Version 1.5, March 1992
Improved appearance of X/Y, area, and 3-D bar graphs.
Version 1.6, March 1992
Reworked online help. Program now uses the regular Windows help.
Added a demonstration program, DEMO.EXE.
Version 1.7, March 1992
Fixed some small bugs.
Version 1.8, March 1992
Spruced up the demo program a bit.
Version 1.9, April 1992
Added ability to change foreground and background colors using the
arrow keys.
Version 2.0, April 1992
Fixed a nasty bug which prevented using the [Enter] key to complete
a dialog box entry. Interestingly, the problem appeared when
testing under Windows 3.1--it seemed to work OK under Win 3.0.
Added ability to save program configuration settings; the file
"ZGRAFWIN.CFG" is now used for this purpose.
Version 2.1, June 1992
Added ability to color in graph regions by clicking the left mouse
button inside the region to paint. The right mouse button now
brings up a dialog box allowing the user to set/change the paint
color.
Version 2.2, June 1992
Improved the graph data-entry for most of the graphs. Entering
data values for the Pie, X/Y, Log, Area, and Polar graphs is now a
lot quicker and more intuitive, using "spreadsheet-like" screens.
The bar graph data-entry could still use some work, though, and
hopefully will be improved in the future.
Version 2.3, June 1992
Improved color options. User can now select from a palette of 64
colors. Blasted away at some more bugs...
Version 2.4, July 1992
Made the bar graph data-entry screen consistent with the other
"spreadsheet-like" data-entry screens.
Version 2.5, July 1992
Reworked the pull-down menu structure into a simpler, more
consistent interface.
Version 2.6, July 1992
Made the left-mouse click-to-paint feature "toggleable", to prevent
accidental graph paint catastrophes. Fixed the clipping rectangle
on the X/Y graph so that when displaying graphs that have points
which fall outside the graph boundaries (manual scaling option) no
points will be shown.
Version 2.7, August 1992
Added a "printer setup" option; this function now calls the actual
Windows printer driver setup program, much like the Windows Control
Panel does. Adding this feature was fun because I didn't have to
write the code myself--it was already in Windows. Yup, a lot of
the stuff you need is already out there waiting, if you can just
figure out how to "tap into" it...
Version 2.8, Aug. 1992
Modified the X/Y, Log, Polar, and Area graphs so they can now
display graphics symbols as well as regular ASCII symbols to
represent the data points on the graphs.
Version 2.9, Aug. 1992
More bug fixes.
Version 3.0, Sept. 1992
Ahem. Uh, more bug fixes.
Version 3.1, Oct. 1992
Added a feature to allow the user to specify the number of
divisions along the x- and y- axes on some of the graphs. The
relative precision of the numbers displayed along the axes can now
be specified also.
Version 3.2, Oct. 1992
Added the Tool Bar.
Version 3.3, Oct. 1992
Put Some More Selections on the Tool Bar.
Version 3.4, Nov. 1992
Completely reworked the area graph. It looks more like a "ribbon"
graph now, with a more professional 3-D look.
Version 3.5, Nov. 1992
Added a "Print" Tool Bar button for Printing Graphs.
Version 3.6, Dec. 1992
Fixed a problem in Text-Field printing output.
