- PLT: v1.3 release notes. November 16, 1989.
-
- New Features:
-
- - Variable page sizes are now allowed. PLT: regonizes standard page sizes
- A - E, as well as page sizes specified by the limits fields on the
- Graphics 2 screen of Preferences.
-
- - Fonts are now disk resident. This allows multiple fonts to be used durring
- a plot and also allow the user to create or modify fonts.
-
- - PLT: defaults in the memory-squander mode but will now automaticly switch
- to the memory conserve mode when available memory falls below 2K. When
- the memory mode is switched, the tree used in the memory-squander mode is
- removed, freeing up space for more lines.
-
- Bug Fixes:
-
- - The line types are now correctly implemented.
-
- - PLT: now places a dot when the pen is lowered and then raised with moving.
-
- - PLT: now correctly reads floating point numbers.
-
- - I think there were a few other bugs that were fixed, but I didn't write
- them down, and I've forgotten what they were.
