Hello,
I am pleased to announce the release of pgfplots 1.12 . It is available
on CTAN http://www.ctan.org/pkg/pgfplots and on
http://pgfplots.sourceforge.net/
Kind regards
Christian
1.12: scalability + performance
- scalability: reduced TeX memory consumption for huge inline tables
- scalability: lualatex allows bigger 3d graphics
- scalability: lualatex now reduces compilation time for huge 3d graphics
(requires \pgfplotsset{compat=newest} at the time of this writing)
surf shader=faceted: time reduced to 61% of pdflatex
(\addplot3[surf,samples=70] {exp(-x^2-y^2 +x*y)})
surf shader=interp: time reduced to 25% of pdflatex
(\addplot3[surf,shader=interp,samples=70] {exp(-x^2-y^2 +x*y)})
surf shader=interp, parametric: time reduced to 36% of pdflatex
(\addplot3[surf,shader=interp,z buffer=sort,
samples=50,domain=-1:0,y domain=0:2*pi] ({sqrt(1-x^2) * cos(deg(y))},
{sqrt( 1-x^2 ) * sin(deg(y))}, x);)
surf shader=faceted, parametric: time reduced to 40% of pdflatex
(\addplot3[surf,z buffer=sort, samples=50,domain=-1:0,y
domain=0:2*pi] ({sqrt(1-x^2) * cos(deg(y))}, {sqrt( 1-x^2 ) *
sin(deg(y))}, x);)
- scalability: lualated now reduces compilation time for boxplots.
10000 input points from table: time reduced to 23% of pdflatex
- fixed bug: 3d axes where all axes used log scale produced compile failure
- fixed bug: axis equal did not respect "disabledatascaling"
- fixed bug: mesh legend was confused by color input=explicit
- fixed bug: colorbar style did not reset zmin/zmax
- fixed bug: memory allocation in FPU consumed too much memory
- fixed bug: boxplots: removed compilation error due to spurious spaces
in options list
- fixed bug: boxplots: now uses standard quantile estimators: has all 9
estimators of R and uses the same as in Excel as default (as of compat=1.12)
- fixed bug: boxplots: sometimes failed to compute boxplot statistics
for special inputs
- fixed bug: boxplots: now, it sets 'mark=*' for outliers if there is no
mark (compat=1.12)
- fixed regression: compat=1.11 broke arcs inside of axis
- new feature: ensured that arcs inside of axis make use of 'axis cs'
and 'axis direction cs' automatically
- new feature: ensured that (0:1) is evaluated with axis cs
- fixed bug: precision of transformation cartesian to polar was too low
(added atan2 to fpu)
- fixed bug: z buffer caused 'mesh legend' to produce a compile error
- new feature: added 'y filter/.expression={y==3 ? nan : y}' to simplify
coordinate filters
1.11: usability + bug fixes.
- new feature: "hide obscured x ticks=false" to disable the feature
which hides ticks
- simplified UI for symbolic coords: now, it accepts unexpandable
dictionary entries including umlauts, undefined macros, math mode, ...
- simplified UI for symbolic coords: added magic prefix
[normalized]<number> to allow something like xmin={[normalized]0.7}
- simplified UI for custom annotations: one does not need to say "axis
cs" any longer;
coordinates like (1,2) are now automatically interpreted as (axis cs:1,2)
- new feature: 'type ticklabels with struts' improves baseline alignment
of tick labels
- new feature: 'trig format plots=rad' allows to use radians in
trigonometric evaluations
- simplified 'external lib': added driver auto-detection for pdflatex,
lualatex, xelatex, dvips
(\usepgfplotslibrary{external}, or, with the next PGF release,
\usetikzlibrary{external})
- simplified UI for \addplot coordinates: now, it expands macros as it goes.
- new feature: 'intersection segments' now accepts negative indices to
count from the last backwards
- simplified UI: 'intersection segments' now accepts new syntax with
1-based indices (old 0-based are still supported)
- fixed bug: fillbetween has had a problem with pins on input paths
- fixed bug: now, 'stacked ignores zero' is no longer applied to error bars.
- fixed bug: tick lines were drawn incorrectly for centered axis lines in 3d
- fixed bug: variable=u failed to work in some contexts
- fixed bug: fill between implicitly activated layers, but did not
install the
correct layers for grid lines etc.
- fixed bug: z grid style was applied to y grid style
- fixed bug: using 'x=1cm' failed to work in axis descriptions (legends)
- fixed bug: mesh legend failed to work with 'shader=interp'
- fixed bug: bounding box of shader=interp was wrong if there were
transformations.
- fixed bug: added support for \addplot graphics in ConTeXt
- fixed bug: external lib failed to work with dvips (since PGF 3.0.0 I
suppose); now it produces correct bounding boxes
- fixed bug: \pgfplotstablenew can now overwrite existing tables.
- fixed bug: extra ticks near intersections of axis lines were hidden
- fixed bug: 'intersection segments' did not work with '--cycle'
- fixed bug: 'intersection segments' did not update the last tikz point
- fixed bug: tick lines/grid lines have been clipped when they were near
the boundary
- fixed bug: soft clip decoration failed to apply the transformation matrix
- fixed bug: polar axes and units library resulted in broken bounding box
- fixed bug: \addplot[stack plots=false] used to work up to 1.8, but
failed until now. Fixed.
- fixed bug: hist/density was broken since some time
1.10:
- new feature: fill between plots (library fillbetween)
- new feature: concatenate intersection segments (library fillbetween)
- fixed bug: xelatex failed to run contour external
- fixed incompatibility with \label and \usepackage{mcaption}
- fixed bug: histograms produced wrong point meta
- fixed bug: histograms reported the wrong 'plot name' and confused
shifts of bar plots
