What’s New in UniPlot 5.10.2

This page describes the changes made to UniPlot 5.10.2 since version 5.10.1.

Enhancements

  • Import of MATLAB Data Files: The function can read older MAT-4 files as well as files saved in Big-Endian byte order. A number of bugs have been fixed. See also Overview MATLAB Files.
  • Data points with almost identical x/y-coordinates will be removed from XYZ datasets. In older versions the interpolation function sometimes failed if the datasets contained points with almost identical x/y data points.
  • For XYZ datasets with a large number of data points a point reduction will be performed. This speeds up the loading of these datasets significantly or makes it possible to load the data into a XYZ dataset. See reduce3d).

New UniScript Functions

  New Functions in UniPlot 5.10.2
XYZFilterCallback XYZFilterCallback will be invoked in XYZCreate to remove unwanted data points.
reduce3d reduce3d removes data points from an x/y/z dataset.

Modified UniScript Functions

The changes are listed in the history table at the end of the function description.

  Modified Functions in UniPlot 5.10.2
matlab_load matlab_load loads a MATLAB file (mat file) into a UniScript object.

Bug Fixes

The following bugs have been fixed:

  • (ID2078): Data Import: The Import function in UniPlot 5.10.x contained a bug. While checking if a data file was a MATLAB file, the file was opened but not closed again. If an Excel file was imported, the file could not be accessed with Excel while UniPlot was running.
  • (ID2085): matlab_load: MAT files with 3, 5, 7,..-dimension arrays could not be read.
  • (ID2088): matlab_load: MAT files with array of structures could not be read.
  • (ID2090): In UniPlot-5.10.x some country specific resource DLLs were missing, therefore UniPlot would display some messages in English.
  • (ID2111): Data exchange of 3D datasets: The fill color between the isolines could get lost if the standard autoscale function was selected. This bug only occurred in UniPlot 5.10.1.
  • (ID2114): XYCopy: The function did not copy the scaling settings correctly (offset and factor). This could bug occurred in the data magnifying function.
  • (ID2109): The ifft function contained a bug if the function was invoked with a matrix instead of a vector. Example: f = fft([1,2,3;4,5,6]'); ifft(f).
  • (ID2115): The fspline function looped infinitely for some data.
  • (ID2116): A UniPlot page embedded in a document, e. g. PowerPoint could not be edited correctly (OLE). While closing UniPlot, UniPlot crashed and would not be finished correctly.
  • (ID2118): 3D bars:: Bars in a 3D diagram that were clipped at z-max were not filled with the correct color. The bar was filled with the color corresponded to the z-max value.
  • (ID2119): If matlab_load was invoked with a Non MATLAB file, the file was opened but not closed.
