Fixes PR 11168 by Alaric Snell <alaric@alaric-snell.com>
Changes:
Version 1.39: Sept 29 '00
*Changed - proc transform renamed as proc processdata ('transform' still
works)
*Changed - script syntax - references to undeclared @variables are now left
alone. Formerly they had resulted in syntax errors.
*Added - proc areadef - autorange - if nearest= is omitted a reasonable
default will be used for numeric data. Formerly it defaulted to exact min
and max, which was usually not desirable. It is now possible to say
nearest=exact to get exact min and max, should that be wanted.
*Added - proc areadef - categories - a new attribute called
'catcompmethod', to control the details of how category comparisons are
done.
*Added - proc areadef - now sets variables XMIN, XMAX, YMIN, and YMAX
*Fixed bug - proc areadef - autorange - problems with negative numbers;
*Added - proc axis - 'stubs increment' with no following value gives a
reasonable default increment. So does 'stubs inc 0'.
*Added - proc bars - barwidthfield and bwfscale for data-driven bar widths
*Added - proc datesettings - several new options for omitting weekends
*Fixed bug - proc getdata - choking on long path names. Increased sizes of
many buffers throughout.
*Fixed bug - proc getdata field names - a name beginning with a number such
as 16kHz was being interpreted as an integer field number.
*Added - proc processdata - new actions 'breaks' to do break processing on
data sets, and related action 'breakreset'.
*Added - proc rangebar - when using meanmode, plotfields may now be used
for getting a mean, standard deviation, and optionally an N value.
*Changed - proc rangebar - variable NVALUES is now always set, even if
nothing was plotted (it will be zero in this case).
*Added - proc rangebar - new attributes showbriefstats, showstatsfile,
briefstatstag to make a file holding computed statistical info that can be
used by other programs
*Added - proc rangebar - allow 'none' for outliernearsym and outlierfarsym,
for when displaying outliers using only labels or line segments.
*Added - proc rangebar - a new attribute called 'skipmed', to omit median
and percentiles calculation when only means and standard deviations are
needed (a performance consideration).
*Fixed bug - proc rangesweep - bug involving the use of 'select'
*Added - new function - $dataitem(), to access a single data item from the
current data set by row and field position.
*Added - command line / proc page - the options -croprel and -crop
*Changed - ploticus temp file naming now uses shorter names
*Added - user-contributed RPM spec file. See the Download page under
Accessories.
*Changed - makefile & build - copied gd_io.h to the gd16 subdirectory for
successful solaris 'make' build
*Added - MP/ix added to Makefile
*Changed - gallery example EPS or Postscript files will no longer be stored
on the web site, except for the pltab examples.
*Changed - ploticus manual in postscript form will no longer be maintained
or distributed.
Version 1.38: Jun 9 '00
*It is now possible to set the directory used for temp files, using a new
config attribute tmpdir.
*under cygwin, problems have been reported with pltab writing postscript to
standard output. Workaround is to use pltab -o
* Added new proc - proc datesettings
* Added - an option to omit weekends with date or datetime scaling,
via proc datesettings
* Improved - numeric data in scientific format e.g. 4.335e12 now
supported
* Improved - #declare and #musthave now can take comma-delimited lists
of variable names
* Fixed bug - proc bars, error bars not positioned correctly w/
clustering
* Fixed bug - proc rangebar, 1.5iqr mode, incorrect upper tail length
* Fixed bug - proc rangebar, zero length tail should not be drawn at all
* Fixed bug - proc tabulate, entries should not be sorted when valuelist
is used
Changes include:
* Fixed bug - categories scaling - handling of duplicate category tags
* New attribute - proc bars - numberformat attribute
* Improved - programs 8-bit clean and support locales - thanks to Oleg
Bartunov
* Fixed bug - removed a few x11 compile dependencies that were present
even with -DNOX11
* Improved - proc transform - numbernotation may be applied to TOTALS
* Fixed bug - proc rangebar - 1.5iqr tails/outliers were incorrect for
degenerate cases (small N)
* Added a new function called $fieldname()
* Improved - proc tabulate now allows NO ordering
* Withdrawn - proc pie - lower edge of pie boundary is "fuzzy". A gd
rounding error?
* Fixed bug - numbernotation - spacer chars being added within leading
blank zones in stubs
* Fixed bugs - proc lineplot - incorrect fill under stairstep curve and
lastseglen
* Fixed bug - proc getdata - program crashed when proc getdata filter
encounters blank lines in data file
* Fixed bug - proc rangebar - 1.5 x IRQ tails not computed correctly
(also affects outliers)
* Improved - postscript %%Creator and %%Title tags not used correctly
* Fixed bug - proc pie - line+label not working correctly on gallery
example pie4.htm
* Improved - proc line - first coordinate pair should implicitly do a
'moveto'
* Added pltab -landscape option
* Added new function $max()
* Fixed bug - pltab centering of column stubs (had been left-aligned)
* Fixed bug - multi-page landscape postscript - 2nd page orientation was
incorrect
* FAQ Mar 1 '00 (expanded and updated)
* Added transparent color; use as background color to create transparent
GIFs and PNGs.
* Added feature to display numbers in european or us notation with
separators for large numbers (settable in config file).
* Added proc tabulate accumfield option.
* Added feature to make proc bars stackfields easier to use.
* Fixed bug - proc tabulate not handling date (etc.) units correctly when
ranges not specified.
* Fixed bugs - proc areadef autorange - various problems involving large
data values, datetime data, and nearest=hours.
* Fixed bug - datetime scaletype - all values 'outside window' when
default date & time notations in use, even though no window was defined.
* Added areadef autorange sub-parameter format.
* Added areadef autorange nearest=day.
* Fixed bug - proc bars - default bar width sometimes much too wide;
added a sanity override.
* Added proc bars lablepos attribute
* Fixed bug - config file "units: cm" not working.
* Added -cm and -inches command line options.
* Added -o stdout to write GIF, PNG, or EPS result to standard output.
* Fixed bug - script files ending in .pl not handled properly.
* Fixed bug - proc rangebar plotfields not working properly.
* Fixed bug - proc bars taillen not being cloned properly for errorbars.
* Fixed bug - proc areadef box attribute not handling cm properly.
* Fixed bug - proc rangebar - 1.5*interquartile range tails were not
truncated at the min/max.
* Added proc bars colorlist attribute
