I've decided to collect a 1.12 beta together as there have been a few improvements and quite a few bug fixes. Please try out version 1.11.0.3 from the testing site. I'd be grateful if you could report any regressions on previous versions.
http://download.gna.org/veusz/testing/ If you are using the ubuntu daily PPA you should be getting this version. Here are the provisional release notes: Veusz 1.12 ---------- Velvet Ember Under Sky Zenith ----------------------------- http://home.gna.org/veusz/ Copyright (C) 2003-2011 Jeremy Sanders <jer...@jeremysanders.net> and contributors. Licenced under the GPL (version 2 or greater). Veusz is a Qt4 based scientific plotting package. It is written in Python, using PyQt4 for display and user-interfaces, and numpy for handling the numeric data. Veusz is designed to produce publication-ready Postscript/PDF/SVG output. The user interface aims to be simple, consistent and powerful. Veusz provides a GUI, command line, embedding and scripting interface (based on Python) to its plotting facilities. It also allows for manipulation and editing of datasets. Data can be captured from external sources such as internet sockets or other programs. Changes in 1.12: * Multiple widgets can now be selected for editing properties together * Add Edit->Select menu and context menu for above * Added context menu on dataset browser for filenames to reload, delete or unlink all associated datasets * New tree-like dataset browsing widget is shown in data edit dialog * Importing 1D fits images is now supported * Date / time data now use a new dataset type * The data edit dialog box can create or edit date/time data in human-readable form Minor improvements: * Add LaTeX commands \cdot, \nabla, \overline plus some arrows * Inform user in exception dialog if a new version is available * Add New linevertbar and linehorzbar error bar styles Bug fixes: * Fix crash on filling filled error regions if no error bars * Remove grouping separator to numbers in locale as it creates ambiguous lists of numbers * Undo works properly for boolean and integer settings * Prevent widgets getting the same names when dragging and dropping * Hidden plot widgets are ignored when calculating axis ranges * Combo boxes are now case sensitive when displaying matches with previous text * Fix errors if plotting DatasetRange or Dataset1DPlugin datasets against data with nan values * Fix division by zero in dataset preview * Do not leave settings pointing to deleted widgets after an undo * Fix errors when using super/subscripts of super/subscripts * Fix crash when giving positions of bar plot and labels * Do not allow dataset names to be invalid after remaining * Several EMF format bug fixes, including not showing hidden lines and not connecting points making curves Features of package: * X-Y plots (with errorbars) * Line and function plots * Contour plots * Images (with colour mappings and colorbars) * Stepped plots (for histograms) * Bar graphs * Vector field plots * Box plots * Polar plots * Plotting dates * Fitting functions to data * Stacked plots and arrays of plots * Plot keys * Plot labels * Shapes and arrows on plots * LaTeX-like formatting for text * EPS/PDF/PNG/SVG/EMF export * Scripting interface * Dataset creation/manipulation * Embed Veusz within other programs * Text, CSV, FITS and user-plugin importing * Data can be captured from external sources * User defined functions, constants and can import external Python functions * Plugin interface to allow user to write or load code to - import data using new formats - make new datasets, optionally linked to existing datasets - arbitrarily manipulate the document * Data picker Requirements for source install: Python (2.4 or greater required) http://www.python.org/ Qt >= 4.3 (free edition) http://www.trolltech.com/products/qt/ PyQt >= 4.3 (SIP is required to be installed first) http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk/pyqt/ http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk/sip/ numpy >= 1.0 http://numpy.scipy.org/ Optional: Microsoft Core Fonts (recommended for nice output) http://corefonts.sourceforge.net/ PyFITS >= 1.1 (optional for FITS import) http://www.stsci.edu/resources/software_hardware/pyfits pyemf >= 2.0.0 (optional for EMF export) http://pyemf.sourceforge.net/ PyMinuit >= 1.1.2 (optional improved fitting) http://code.google.com/p/pyminuit/ For EMF and better SVG export, PyQt >= 4.6 or better is required, to fix a bug in the C++ wrapping For documentation on using Veusz, see the "Documents" directory. The manual is in PDF, HTML and text format (generated from docbook). The examples are also useful documentation. Please also see and contribute to the Veusz wiki: http://barmag.net/veusz-wiki/ Issues with the current version: * Some recent versions of PyQt/SIP will causes crashes when exporting SVG files. Update to 4.7.4 (if released) or a recent snapshot to solve this problem. If you enjoy using Veusz, we would love to hear from you.
