|
| 2.0 |
| In Fortran code:
- Re-wrote code to: clean up main program; group graphics
calls together; use include files for C Pre-processor;
create separate .f files for main, gl-specific, and
PostScript-specific routines.
- Eliminated use of gl objects. Plot is now redrawn as
needed when windows move, etc. No longer necessary
to open window early and pop to front.
- Only one gl window now used, which is redrawn (and
resized as necessary) for each successive plot.
- Added several modes to default COORS and POINTS routines
for format of coordinate data, modeled after plotxy
input.
- Automatic scaling now takes into account all curves and
symbol sets.
- Fixed various bugs (in OFFSET > 0 cases, in text strings,
in y-axis title positioning in gl plot, in stacked
landscape plots).
- Added option to apply linear transformation to x and/or
y coordinates returned by COORS and/or POINTS.
- Changing fonts in text strings now requires \ft(xx
notation for two-character font names, instead of
\ftxx.
- Superscripts used for exponents on log axes labels.
- Added fixes for log plots with inappropriate axis limits
and/or intervals.
- For NCURV > 0, and for NSYMB > 0, ICTYPE(1) and ISTYPE(1)
now used for line style and symbol type.
- Increased dimensions on ICTYPE and ISTYPE to the
parameter NCSMAX (the max number of curves plus
symbol sets, currently 1000).
- For vector-symbol plots, ICTYPE now used for line style,
and separate array (ISTYPV) used for symbol types.
- Legend table now includes only the distinct line styles
and symbol types.
- Added IMASK array to allow option of not masking area
behind open symbols. Incorporated ISMASK and ILMASK
into IMASK.
- Added XTITLE, YTITLE, and PTITLE to namelist AXES.
Values specified in namelist override those from
COORS.

only, or both.

character at a time.

gray grid lines.

were wrong sign.

created during installation.
In documentation:
- Expanded plotc_p3d description.
|
| 2.4 |
| In Fortran code:
- Fixed bug in legend involving number of distinct curves
when multiple line styles are used with vector-symbol
curves, and number of distinct symbol sets when
multiple sizes are used with multiple symbol types.
Bug and fix reported by Gerard Stafleu (gerard@uwo.ca).
- Added option to draw error bars with symbols.
In shell scripts plotc and plotc_p3d:
- Changed output from stdout to stderr, to keep it out of
files created by redirection of any stdout written in
user-supplied COORS/POINTS routines.
In Fortran code coorp3d.f:
- Fixed bug in fcts 108 and 109, when INEAR = 1, 2, 5, or 6.
- Added capability to read iblank'ed Plot3d xyz files (but
IBLANK array is currently ignored.)
|
| 2.5 |
| In Fortran code:
- Activated ILEGND = ± 2 option.
- Moved text in legends up slightly to line up better
with lines and symbols.
- Added capability to read Genplot files
- Added NPLIM input parameter

- Fixed bug in read of multi-block pure binary files
In makefile:
- Modified genmake for IRIX 6.x systems
- Fixed bug, include files weren't included in dependency
line for coor.o and point.o
In documentation:
- Added hyperlinked HTML version.
|
| 2.6 |
| In Fortran code:
- Converted from SGI's original gl routines to OpenGL,
with the Fortran 90 bindings to OpenGL from the
f90gl
 package.
- Modified to use Fortran 90 features and syntax.
- Split source code into separate files for each
subroutine, organized in separate directories.
In Fortran code coorp3d.f90:
- Fixed bug in definition of shear stress and heat flux
(function numbers 120-128).
- Modified to use Fortran 90 features and syntax.
In Makefile:
- Eliminated creation of machine-dependent
Makefile via genmake script, because it
became impractical due to the variety of compilers
available for Linux systems.
In shell scripts plotc and plotc_p3d:
- Eliminated options to specify user-written versions of
subroutines coors and/or points. User-written versions
may still be incorporated at the time the executable
is created, by replacing the versions in the coors
directory. But providing the capability to compile and
link on the fly via the shell script became impractical
for Linux systems.
In documentation:
- Modified to reflect above changes.
