07/03/2010 Joe Chuma <joe.chuma@gmail.com> v4.4.4 * modified src/Utilities/ExGlobals fixed a bug in the calculation of the world and monitor units after a change in the aspect ratio * modified src/Graphics/GRA_postscript removed a "fudge factor" in the location for drawing text (related to preceeding fix) 05/02/2010 Joe Chuma <joe.chuma@gmail.com> v4.4.3 * added 3D graphing speed button to the visualization window which allows the user to plot (x,y,z) data on basic graph axes, with the ability to zoom in/out and rotate in 3 dimensions. * enabled figure drawing speed button to the visualization window which allows the user to interactively draw various types of arrows, polygons, and ellipses 03/12/2009 Joe Chuma <joe.chuma@gmail.com> v4.4.2 * modified the entire Help file structure, reorganizing and simplifying (and correcting in some cases). * modified src/Commands/CMD_graph Autoscaling one axis while the other was fixed, was causing problems. This has been fixed. * modified src/Utilities/ExGlobals The locations of the Help and Images directories have finally been rationalized. 05/10/2009 Joe Chuma <joe.chuma@gmail.com> v4.4.1 * modified src/Graphics/GRA_postscript PostScript output of graphs with an automatic graph legend were not producing all the proper line widths. This should now be fixed. 26/09/2009 Joe Chuma <joe.chuma@gmail.com> v4.4.0 * modified the fit gui src/wxForms/FitForm the parameter errors displayed on the resultant graph are now the more usual standard errors (E1), instead of the so-called "reduced standard errors" (E2) where E2 = E1/sqrt(chi-sq/#degrees_of_freedom). I appologize for any confusion this may have caused. * added two new general characteristics: BACKGROUNDCOLOR and BACKGROUNDFILE these control the background for each graphics sub-window. BACKGROUNDFILE refers to a png image file. The default background color is white. * added two new general characteristics: ARROWHEADWIDTH and ARROWHEADLENGTH these are scale factors which are applied to the width and length of any arrow heads drawn with the FIGURE command, e.g., to double the width, SET ARROWHEADWIDTH 2 while to halve it, SET ARROWHEADWIDTH 0.5 The default for both characteristics is 1.0 06/02/2008 Joe Chuma <chuma@triumf.ca> v4.3.6 * modified src/wxForms/CommandTextCtrl.cpp the cursor is now positioned at the end of the command line on a command line recall with the up/down arrow keys * modified src/Utilities/UsefulFunctions.cpp initial indexing for linear interpolation was off by one causing incorrect results in some cases 30/01/2008 Joe Chuma <chuma@triumf.ca> v4.3.5 * modified src/Graphics/GRA_window.cpp the REPLOT command was failing for some cases of XLOGBASE or YLOGBASE > 1, this is fixed. * modified src/Graphics/GRA_cartesianAxes.cpp the GRAPH command was failing if autoscaling was on and a linear axis was drawn first, with large max value, and then logbase set > 1, and GRAPH drawn again, this is fixed. * modified src/Graphics/GRA_cartesianAxes.cpp, src/Commands/CMD_scales.cpp setting the virtual min/max was not working properly when the number of large increments was set to zero. This is fixed. * modified src/Graphics/GRA_postscript,GRA_font,GRA_fontControl attempting to rationalize the linux and windows fonts. Now both version try to use the same fonts. Changed the font names used in PostScript output for better results. * modified many files to fix up unicode stream output when saving a session 11/01/2008 Joe Chuma <chuma@triumf.ca> v4.3.4 * modified src/Expression/Expression.cpp, Workspace.cpp the FIT command was failing when the fit expression was an evaluatable text string, e.g., FIT y=EVALUATE(f) or FIT y=1*f where f is a string variable, this has been fixed 08/01/2008 Joe Chuma <chuma@triumf.ca> v4.3.3 * modified src/Graphics/GRA_window.cpp the REPLOT command was failing when the axis min > max, now fixed * modified src/Commands/CMD_read.cpp when reading data from a file into vectors, a record in the data file which begins with the comment character, default '!', will be ignored * modified help files attempting better explanation of expression variables in the Introduction 07/01/2008 Joe Chuma <chuma@triumf.ca> v4.3.2 * modified several source files to accomodate gcc v4.3 which "cleaned up" some header dependencies. 27/11/2007 Joe Chuma <chuma@triumf.ca> v4.3.1 * added more polar plot characteristics, modified GRAPH\RADAR, and updated the help files. added characteristics: POLARAXISANGLE, POLARAXISLINEWIDTH, POLARCLOCKWISE, POLARCOMPASSLABELS 19/11/2007 Joe Chuma <chuma@triumf.ca> v4.3.0 * added polar plots GRAPH\POLAR now draws a true polar plot polar plots have their own set of characteristics the help files have been updated 01/11/2007 Joe Chuma <chuma@triumf.ca> v4.2.10 * modified src/Commands/CMD_read when reading a matrix where the number of columns is not given, extrema was returning 1000 columns, which is obviously wrong. This has been fixed. * modified all help files removed extraneous Windows specific stuff from the html help files and tried to fix up broken links and incorrect information * modified src/Functions/FCN_integral added trapezoid rule calculation. Syntax: INTEGRAL(x,y,'TRAPEZOID') 05/10/2007 Joe Chuma <chuma@triumf.ca> v4.2.9 * modified src/Utilities/ExGlobals can now pass a script and parameters as command line arguments. This script will be executed immediately. For example: $ extrema --script "testIt.pcm 50 90 'some <alpha,beta,gamma> string'" will execute the script testIt.pcm with 3 parameters. 14/09/2007 Joe Chuma <chuma@triumf.ca> v4.2.8 * modified src/Utilities/ExXML, src/Utilities/ExGlobals removed dependency on libxml2, now using wxXmlDocument, wxXmlNode * modified Command, FCN_adev, FCN_mean, FCN_gmean, FCN_rms, FCN_skew, FCN_stdev, CMD_get, CMD_read, CMD_scalar, CMD_set, FCN_date, FCN_time, GRA_axis, ExSpinCtrlD.h, ExSpinCtrlI.h, and ExColorCtrl.h to comply with the latest gcc compiler. * added FCN_heaviside 0.0 for x < 0 The Heaviside function has been added. HEAVISIDE(x) = 0.5 for x = 0 1.0 for x > 0 17/08/2007 Joe Chuma <chuma@triumf.ca> v4.2.7 * added src/wxForms/LegendPopup New context sensitive options. If you right-click on a graph legend, a form pops up allowing you to modify aspects of the legend, such as position, size, frame colour, title colour, etc. * modified src/Utilities/ExGlobals New feature. A command line beginning with the % character is now interpreted as a system command, e.g., %ls. The output from the command will be displayed in the terminal window. 01/08/2007 Joe Chuma <chuma@triumf.ca> v4.2.6 * added src/wxForms/TextPopup New context sensitive options. If you right-click on a drawn text string, a form pops up allowing you to modify aspects of the text string, such as color, height, font, location, etc. * modified src/Commands/CMD_write Writing a text string to a file was writing gibberish instead, due to a unicode confusion. This has been fixed. Also, writing a scalar to a file was failing with a complaint that it wasn't a vector. This has also been fixed. 27/07/2007 Joe Chuma <chuma@triumf.ca> v4.2.5 * modified src/Graphics/GRA_window.cpp Fixed up replot for commensurate autoscaling. * added src/wxForms/CurvePopup, src/wxForms/ExColorCtrl,ExSpinCtrlD,ExSpinCtrlI.

If you right-click on the x- or y-axis of a graph, a form pops up allowing you to modify many axis characteristics, including color, location, scales, grid lines, tic marks, etc. This new feature will be extended to other graphical objects soon. 06/06/2007 Joe Chuma <chuma@triumf.ca> v4.2.3 * modified src/wxForms/VisualizationSpeedButtonPanel Minor bug fix for PostScript output: if the .eps extension was not supplied, the plot file was created but not completed. If the .eps extension was supplied, everything was ok. This is now fixed. * modified src/Commands/CMD_graph Minor bug fix: if the legend is off and a string is supplied as the first argument to the GRAPH command, an error occurred. The string is now ignored, as specified in the documentation. 04/06/2007 Joe Chuma <chuma@triumf.ca> v4.2.2 * added src/Commands/CMD_ellipse New command ELLIPSE can be used to populate an ellipse given the major- and minor-axes, centre, and angle; or it can be used to fit an ellipse to a set of data. The Help files have also been updated. * added src/Commands/CMD_polygon New command POLYGON takes the coordinates for a polygon and some data coordinates, and returns a vector indicating which data points are inside/outside the polygon. The Help files have also been updated. 15/05/2007 Joe Chuma <chuma@triumf.ca> v4.2.1 * modified src/wxForms/VisualizationWindow, SetAspectRatioForm Minor changes to allow linking with wxGTK v2.6.3 * modified src/wxForms/VisualizationWindow, src/Utilities/ExGlobals, src/wxForms/SetAspectRatioForm.

New command ALIAS allows the user to create new commands out of the current commands. New command DEALIAS is used to remove an alias. 08/05/2007 Joe Chuma <chuma@triumf.ca> v4.2.0 * added src/wxForms/GraphicsPage, src/Commands/CMD_page. These allow for multiple graphics pages in a tabbed format. A new graphics page adds another tab in the visualization window. Use the speed buttons on the visualization window, or the PAGE command, to add/remove pages. * added src/wxForms/SetAspectRatioForm. This allows for interactively changing the aspect ratio. * modified src/Utilities/ExGlobals, src/wxForm/VisualizationWindow to fix up the SAVE/RESTORE feature for multiple graphics pages. * modified src/Graphics/GRA_postscript to break up long sets of "lineto"s in order to speed up ghostview display of postscript files, also included shorter names for "lineto", "moveto", and "stroke", to make the files smaller. * modified src/Commands/CMD_get,CMD_set to modify orientation, which now uses aspectratio. For letter size paper, use SET ASPECTRATIO 8.5/11 to get landscape orientation, and use SET ASPECTRATIO 11/8.5 to get portrait orientation. 18/04/2007 Joe Chuma <chuma@triumf.ca> v4.1.10 * added src/Functions/FCN_asinh,FCN_acosh,FCN_atanh,FCN_asech,FCN_acsch,FCN_acoth, FCN_cosh,FCN_sinh,FCN_tanh,FCN_sech,FCN_csch,FCN_coth the hyperbolic trig functions (I simply forgot to include them before) * added src/Graphics/GRA_postscript (a PostScript driver) to fix up the PostScript output, i.e., it is now encapsulated postscript (with a bounding box), and the Greek characters and the math symbols should now appear in the postscript output 30/03/2007 Joe Chuma <chuma@triumf.ca> v4.1.9 * modified src/Commands/CMD_execute to fix a bug in appending the current path to a filename. The / was missing before the filename. * modified src/Commands/CMD_inquire,CMD_execute,CMD_text,CMD_quit,CMD_if, CMD_pause,CMD_set,CMD_get,CMD_return and src/Graphics/GRA_drawableText and src/Parsing/Script and src/Utilities/ExGlobals and src/wxForms/AnalysisMessagePanel,CommandTextCtrl,ExecuteDialog, VisualizationWindow,AnalysisWindow to fix script handling. Previously, nested scripts were simply not handled correctly, leading to stack overflow or other serious problems. It should now be fixed. * added src/Functions/FCN_skew,FCN_mean,FCN_var,FCN_stdev,FCN_rms,FCN_median, FCN_kurt,FCN_imin,FCN_imax,FCN_gmean,FCN_adev so the various statistics can be obtained easier than via the STATISTICS command. * modified src/Functions/FCN_time,FCN_date to fix more bugs in the TIME and DATE functions. 27/03/2007 Joe Chuma <chuma@triumf.ca> v4.1.8 (for various reasons, 4.1.8 was skipped) 06/03/2007 Joe Chuma <chuma@triumf.ca> v4.1.7 * modified src/Graphics/GRA_axis to fix a bug with log scales when there are no major tic marks showing * modified src/Commands/CMD_fit to fix a bug with the \CL qualifier not being recognized * added optional support for MINUIT (minimization code from CERN) * modified src/Commands/CMD_scalar to allow limits on fit parameters destined for use in MINUIT, e.g., SCALAR\FIT A[min:max].
