Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: scidavis
According to upstream changelog, 0.2.4 is a bug fixing only release, and fix
compatibility with qt 4.6.
As Lucid will be released with qt 4.6, scidavis should be upgraded to 0.2.4.
Here is the upstream changelog:
Most important changes (since 0.2.3)
- Some parts of the Python API have been marked as deprecated and generate
warnings when used. This
may be a bit unusual for a bugfix release; on the other hand, they won't be
removed any time soon
and inserting the deprecation warnings now will give everyone as much time as
possible for getting
accustomed to the API we're moving towards.
Most prominently,
Table.cell(column,row) and
Table.setCell(column,row,value)
are deprecated in favour of
Table.column(column - 1).valueAt(row - 1) and
Table.column(column - 1).setValueAt(row - 1, value)
(note that the column/row INDICES DIFFER BY ONE!); the same goes for
Table.text(c,r) -> Table.column(c - 1).textAt(r - 1) and
Table.setText(c,r,text) -> Table.column(c - 1).setTextAt(r - 1,text).
This serves multiple purposes. It simplifies the interfaces by grouping all
functionality specific
to a certain column in the Column class; it allows column objects to be
stored and passed around;
and it moves from the unconventional 1-based indexing to the more
conventional 0-based indexing.
Future additions to the API will increasingly make use of the
columns-as-objects paradigm.
- lots of bugfixes, again including crashes
- fixed compatibility issues with Qt 4.6 and SIP 4.9
- performance improvements
- substantially improved support for plots involving date/time data
- added two Czech translations: a default one by Pavel Fric (feedback requested
via
http://fripohled.blogspot.com) and an alternative one by Jan Helebrant
- updated Spanish translation, thanks to Mauricio Troviano; Brazilian
Portuguese translation, thanks
to Fellyp do Nascimento; and German translation
- fixed and extended many parts of the API for Python scripts, including the
new methods
Layer.pickPoint()
MDIWindow.clone()
Folder.save(filename)
newGraph(string)
Layer.printDialog()
Graph.printDialog()
Layer.setRightTitle(string)
Layer.setTopTitle(string)
Layer.grid() # => returns an instance of the new class Grid
Layer.insertFunctionCurve(formula,from=0,to=1,points=100,title="")
Layer.insertPolarCurve(radial_formula,angular_formula,from=0,to=2*pi,parameter="t",points=100,title="")
Layer.insertParametricCurve(x_formal,y_formula,from=0,to=1,parameter="t",points=100,title="")
Matrix.recalculate()
the constants QwtPlot.yLeft, QwtPlot.yRight, QwtPlot.xBottom, QwtPlot.xTop
for specifying axes
and the Grid class
- multiple graphs can have active tools simultaneously
- based on user feedback, the default behaviour when importing ASCII files has
been changed to
interpret the data as numeric (only applies to fresh installations of
SciDAVis)
- automatic resizing of table rows for multi-line cells intentionally dropped,
because this seems
to be rarely needed and has a huge impact on performance for large tables
For example, this one: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-
bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=571462 should be fixed.
