What's New in UniPlot 5.6.3
===========================

This page describes the changes made to UniPlot 5.6.3 since version 5.6.2.

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

* Program Editor and Command Window: The typeface name and size of the font
  can be set. Only monospaced fonts like "Courier New" or "consolas" can be used.
  See also :ref:`uniplot's-use-of-the-windows-registry`.

  Here are the default settings::

     WriteProfileString("Settings", "editor-window-font-name", "Courier New");
     WriteProfileInt("Settings", "editor-window-font-size", 10);
     WriteProfileString("Settings", "command-window-font-name", "Courier New");
     WriteProfileInt("Settings", "command-window-font-size", 14);

* :ref:`DialogBox`: The text size for each cell in the report control
  was limited to 254 characters. The new size is limited to 4095 characters.

* Two new filter functions for 2D datasets have been added:
  **FFT: Filter** and **FFT: Frequence-Spectrum**. To add a filter,
  doubleclick a curve and click the Filter button.

* The :ref:`@f{labeldataset}` field function has been modified. The label
  position can now be set using the mouse.

Bug Fixes
---------

The following bugs have been fixed:

* (ID1678): The :ref:`DocAddPage` function failed if the page was located in a
  different document. The function could be used if the page was newly created
  with the :ref:`PageCreate` function.

* (ID1677): The :ref:`DocInsertPage` could not be used because of a bug in the
  function.

* (ID1681): PDF-Export: If the path name contained a percent sign
  the function :ref:`DocPrintPDF` and :ref:`pdf-export` failed.

* (ID1682): The **rspline** filter function failed for non-monotone 2D
  datasets.

* (ID1685): In the print preview (:ref:`fileprint-preview`), the displayed page
  sometimes flickered rapidly and a memory access violation could occur. 
  This bug occurred only in UniPlot 5.6.0 and 5.6.1. This bug was partly fixed in 
  UniPlot 5.6.2 (ID1662).

* (ID1692): The **Label Data Points** field function for 2D-datasets
  was incorrect. If the configuration was modified by a right mouse click on
  one of the labels and then selecting the **Edit Label** command the function did not
  work correctly if the dataset contained more than 50 data points. The function 
  created a label for each data point and slowed down UniPlot significantly.

* (ID1694): :ref:`datadata-exchange-(page)`: The group name of MDF files
  (e.g. INCA) was not handled correctly if the group name was removed
  in the new data files. The function has been modified to remove the group
  name from all channel names. This simplifies the channel selection. 

* (ID1700): 2D-Datasets were not removed from the memory when the document
  was closed. This bug was in all versions since 5.3.1

* (ID1703): 2D-Datasets: Datasets with non monotone x-coordinates
  could not be edited using the **Edit Y coordinate** button.
  See :ref:`dataedit-2d-dataset-coordinates`.

* (ID1704):    :ref:`filemore-file-functionssynchronize-data-files`
  The channel attributes **add_offset** and **scale_factor** for time channels
  were partly not evaluated. Example: If a time channel was measured in 
  milli seconds and the **scale_factor** was set to 0.001, the offset calculation
  and data preview was correct. but in the calculation that followed when the 
  OK button was pressed the **scale_factor** was ignored.

* (ID1705): For 1 point datasets the **Line Style** **Hatch Style** and
  **Fill Color** button were deactivated. Now they are activated and can be used.
