(Spurred by the fact net/scapy expects the SVG support introduced back
in 2015.)
0.15 (2019/07/14):
- text module:
- introduce UnicodeEngine
- MultiEngineText to express combined text data for TeX based engines and
the new UnicodeEngine
- Text and StackedText classes for simple typesetting operations on
UnicodeEngine text
- rename TexRunner and LatexRunner to TexEngine and LatexEngine
- rename cls argument of text.set to engine (with fallback and
deprecation warning in place)
- improve error handling when input cannot be encoded by texenc
- add support for virtual fonts in virtual fonts
- font maps: treat font files without extension as Type 1 (to
prevent warnings occuring especially with Minion or Libertine fonts)
- fix UnicodeDecodeError for invalid character responses by TeX/LaTeX
(reported by Gert Ingold)
- new examples:
- non-ASCII TeX encoding
- t1font:
- use integers in auto-guessed font descriptors to prevent an issue in pdftex
(reported by Michael Hartmann)
- fix typo: ItalicAngles -> ItalicAngle (thanks to Ross Moore)
- graph.axis.texter:
- unify exponential and mixed texter to default texter
- use MultiEngineText in all texters (decimal, default, factional)
- pdfwriter, pswriter, svgwriter:
- removed underscore in PS and PDF and SVG writer options strip_fonts,
text_as_path, mesh_as_bitmap, mesh_as_bitmap_resolution
(new: stripfonts, textaspath, meshasbitmap and meshasbitmapresolution)
to prevent ambiquity with write_ prefixes.
- Fix color output in SVG (reported by Michael Hartmann)
- deformer:
- Fix parallel deformer for empty normsubpaths (thanks to Michael J Gruber)
- graph.style:
- Use RGBA instead of ARGB in the bitmap fallback of graph.style.density
Fix saving SVG as supported modes are limited (thanks to Michael J Gruber)
- pattern:
- inject default linewidth (reported by Michael J Gruber)
- version control:
- switched to git on 2018/07/16 with main repository on GitHub
0.14.1 (2015/11/02):
- distribution:
- upload to PyPI (including old releases)
- remove old releases from sourceforge
- text module:
- fix load_def message parser (reported by Mico Filós)
- normpath:
- fix intersect with empty normsubpaths (bug #62, thanks to Florent Hivert)
0.14 (2015/04/30):
- new svgwriter module:
- complete SVG output
- SVG font output disabled by default due to missing support by
most browsers, fallback by rendering fonts as paths
- new svgfile module:
- SVG reader
- unparsed mode: embedd svg in other svg
- parsed mode: supports reading paths (including styles,
tranformations, etc.) into a PyX canvas
- bitmap module:
- using bytes in image type conversions and channel extraction
- color module:
- fix grey class
- fix rgb css binary issue and short code index error
- epsfile module:
- fix parsing of bounding box
- text module:
- no end of pages test when no dvi is created at all
- add chroot config option needed to use a chrooted TeX installation
- graph module:
- add xy12axesat feature to graphxyz
- canvas module:
- fix clipping and transformation applied together
- provide _repr_svg_ in canvas for use by IPython
- new constructor argument ipython_bboxenlarge
- deco module:
- remove shortcut for ornaments only to not skip global styles
combines an abstraction of the PostScript drawing model with a TeX/LaTeX
interface. Complex tasks like 2d and 3d plots in publication-ready quality
are built out of these primitives.
Features
* PostScript and PDF output for device independent, freely scalable figures
* seamless TeX/LaTeX integration
* full access to PostScript features like paths, linestyles, fill patterns,
transformations, clipping, bitmap inclusion, etc.
* advanced geometric operations on paths like intersections, transformations,
splitting, smoothing, etc.
* sophisticated graph generation: modular design, pluggable axes, axes
partitioning based on rational number arithmetics, flexible graph styles, etc.
