What's New in UniPlot 5.3.2
===========================

This page describes the changes made to UniPlot 5.3.2 since version 5.3.1.

New Features
------------

* The mouse wheel can be used to change the zoom factor. Hold down the Ctrl- Key
  and spin the mouse wheel.

*  New Addin: Rainflow counting algorithm (see :ref:`rainflow-counting`).

*  Functions to modify bitmaps have been added (see below).

* If the PDFCreator is installed, it can be used for the PDF-Export
  (see http://www.pdfforge.org/products/pdfcreator).

* Dataexchange: New Option **Always load original data files**:
  If this option is selected the original data files will be converted to 
  NC files. The NC file name will be displayed **New Name** column. As soon
  as the NC name is displayed the option as no impact on the data file any longer.

  The NC file will be created when you click on the **Edit file** button, 
  the **Dataset List** button or the :guilabel:`OK` button.

  If this option is not selected the function always tries to open the NC file. If
  the file does not exists the original data is reloaded.

  See :ref:`datadata-exchange-(page)`.

*  Windows Vista: UniPlot 5.3.2 can be used under Windows Vista.

Bug Fixes
---------

The following bugs have been fixed:

* (ID1246): A number of errors in the Undo/Redo function have been fixed. Some
  of these errors could crash UniPlot. 

* (ID1250): :ref:`ncgen_exe`: UniPlot could crash if a warning occurred. The
  string length of global attributes was limited to 512 characters.

* (ID1253): Graphic-Export: If the target directory was write protected, the
  export failed without an error message.

* (ID1254): Data-Cursor: Some bugs have been fixed:

* The cursor could not be moved if the cursor was located on the left or right
  diagram border. 

* A cursor could not be displayed if the diagram contained
  3D datasets. 

* The cursor could not be displayed if the data was sorted
  in descending order. The cursor could only be used if the x-data was strictly 
  monotone increasing. 

* (ID1257): An incorrect error message could be displayed if a netCDF function
  failed (Unicode problem).

* (ID1259): The :ref:`nc_varcopy` function failed if the the NC files had
  different byte order.

* (ID1262): Because of a bug in the UniPlot netCDF interface, the
  reading and writing of NC files in the original byte order could be very slow.

* (ID1263): Graphic-Export: If the temp directory contained more than
  16000 files the export of png, emf, jpg etc. files failed.

* (ID1271): 2D datasets: If the curve was drawn with a dashed line style
  sometimes the last dash was missing.

* (ID1283): 2D datasets: If data symbols were plotted on the diagram border
  the symbol was partly clipped. Now if the data point is inside or on the diagram
  border the symbol will not be clipped. The symbol clipping can be enabled using
  the registry key "Settings\\data-symbol-clipping".
  (see :ref:`uniplot's-use-of-the-windows-registry`).

* (ID1284): 3D datasets: The Thin-Plate-Spline interpolation could fail if
  the input data was distributed extremely evenly.

* (ID1289): The display quality of bitmaps (png, gif) on the monitor
  was sometimes very bad. This bug had no effect on the print output or PDF output.
