- CHANGES BETWEEN VERSION XLN AND XLNb:
-
- Bug fix: Plot dimensions were not reset if a plot was redrawn without
- text.
-
- Bug fix: The function of the REDRAW menu option was not always
- consistent.
-
- Bug fix: Y Axis text was not cleared properly if a plot was redrawn
- without text.
-
- Bug fix: The ZOOM option will no longer crash if used with enthusiasm.
- The maximum zoom possible is 1,600 times.
-
- Bug fix: Multiplot is now a little more resistant to low chip memory
- situations.
-
- Bug fix: The wait pointer was not cleared after cancelling a save in
- IntroCAD or Draw format.
-
- Bug fix: Saves in mCAD, introCAD and Draw format with the grid option
- switched on did not save the vertical grid lines.
-
- Bug fix: The lowest tick or grid line was sometimes omitted.
-
- Bug fix: The screen was munged if the ZOOM box or SLIDE vector were drawn
- using the cross hairs.
-
- Bug fix: Multiplot will now handle greater than 20 data sets. As far as I
- know, the number of data sets is limited by memory alone.
-
- Typo fix: The menu option SAVE HPGL is now correctly named. Was HPLG!
-
- Style Change: The "How to Plot" window has been renamed DEFINE PLOT and
- the menu option that calls it has been renamed REDEFINE
- PLOT.
-
-
-
-
-
-
- Style Change: The Menu QUIT selection key shortcut has been changed to
- Left-Amiga-e so as not to conflict with Commodore- Amiga's
- style guidelines. The menu option has been renamed EXIT so
- as to remain easy to remember.
-
- Style Change: The ZOOM and SLIDE functions now operate in the standard
- Amiga way; that is, the zoom box or slide vector is drawn
- WHILE the left mouse button is held down. The screen is
- redrawn when the left mouse button is released.
-
- Style Change: Delimiters (caps) are now drawn on the error bars. This
- slows some functions down, especially conversions to other
- formats, but most other graph plotting programs have them,
- so I put them in.
-
- Removal of feature: Menu selection "White BG" no longer exists.
-
- New plot mode: Both lines and points for same data set.
-
- New feature: The Custom Plot window allows selection of different plot
- symbols. If a default plot is selected from the Define Plot
- window, the symbols are cycled through the data sets. This
- feature together with plot colours allows 54
- distinguishable data sets to be plotted.
-
- New feature: The conversion module to change to the Draw format has been
- recoded. It is now faster, smaller, requires less memory,
- and provides line colours.
-
- New feature: Menu selection to call palette for selection of screen
- colours. Palette may be saved.
-
- New feature: The ZOOM out feature to reduce the size of the plot now
- obtains the "double click" timing from preferences.
-
- New feature: The loading of a default palette on starting. Palette data
- is stored in a file called "MPlot.def" in either the same
- directory as Multiplot, or in the s: directory.
-
- New feature: The number of X and Y axis tick marks or lines can now be
- defined independently.
-
- New feature: Multiplot now uses overdimensional screens. An attempt is
- made to open and use a screen the same size as workbench.
- This will give those with multisync monitors and the
- Morerows patch some more real estate to play with. The
- screen size can be forced to standard if needed.
-
- New feature: Data file format is checked before loading. Loading status
- is displayed in screen title bar.
-
- New feature: The data file may now contain carriage returns at the ends
- of lines. This allows data to be imported from spreadsheets
- which are IBM file compatible.
-
- New feature: All error reports are relayed via alerts or requesters. No
- error messages will appear in the current CLI.
-
-
-
-
-
- New feature: Lines in the data file which begin with "*SCALFACT*" may
- contain scale factors by which collected data is to be
- multiplied. The scale factor columns map to data columns
- after the keyword "*SCALFACT*" is discarded.
-
- New feature: Title, X axis label and Y axis labels are now printed. They
- may be defined in the data file by using the *Title*,
- *XLabel* and *YLabel* keywords. Note that although the Y
- axis label appears on screen as vertical text, on the
- printed output, it is written sideways.
-
- New feature: It is now possible to quit from the Data Selection Window.
- This is necessary if a suitable file to plot cannot be
- found.
-
- New feature: The Custom Plot window now has a STOP button. If used when
- defining plot options for the first time, all remaining
- data sets will be skipped and not plotted. If the plot
- options are being described after calling Redefine Plot
- from the menu bar in the Plot window, this button will
- redraw the plot without changing the options for the
- remaining data sets.
