What’s New in UniPlot 5.8.2¶

This page describes the changes made to UniPlot 5.8.2 since version 5.8.1.

New Features¶

Famos Files: Famos files version 1 can be loaded. Older versions of the filter only supported format version 2 (see Import of FAMOS files). The new filter can also import files with data saved in record order.
Dialog elements are displayed in Windows XP style instead of the old Windows-2000 style.

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

	Modified Functions in UniPlot 5.8.2
fread	fread reads data from a file.
mem_get	mem_get reads bytes from a string and converts the data.

The following bugs have been fixed:

(ID1807): File=>File Quick View: If the File Quick View template contained only one diagram, the 2D dataset y-channel name and the 3D dataset z-channel name were used as the page name.
(ID1808): Data=>Data Exchange (Document), Data=>Data Exchange (Page): If multiple sheets from one Excel file were used in a document, all sheets were immediately replaced. A message box will now appear after the first sheet is selected with the question if all sheets should be replaced.
(ID1809): UTX-Import-Filter: If a data file contained more than one text channel with an identical name, the import failed. See UTX Data File Format.
(ID1810): Import of IFILE Data Files: If the data file contained channels with only one data point, the import failed. This error occurred only in UniPlot 5.8.1.
(ID1811): Import of IFILE Data Files: The following features have been added to the IFile Filter: Import of up to 99 operating parameters, long channel names (more than 10 characters), import of calculated channels (these features have been added to the IFile format with IndiCom 1.3).

(ID1813): UniScript: “//” comments could cause problems in #define commands. This bug has been fixed. Example:

#define ABC 123 // Comment
#define DEF 456 /* OK */
sprintf("%d", ABC) // Bug in uniplot 5.8.1, OK in 5.8.2
sprintf("%d", DEF) // OK

(ID1815): Autocale Axes: If all coordinates of a datasets were negative, the automatic scaling failed.
(ID1816): Import of IFILE Data Files: Sometimes, if the NC file was saved in the netcdf-up format, not all channels could be imported. See Tools=>More Options, “Data Import and Data Browser=>netCDF Filetype”.
(ID1818): auto_GetFileNameDialog: New option to sort the file names. The names can be sorted in alphabetical order or by date (recent files at the top).
(ID1821): fft: The FFT calculation of datasets with more than 5000 data points was very slow if the number of points was a prime number (for example 99991 points). Now the number of points will be extended by padding to a product of small prime numbers.
(ID1824): Error bars: The Error bars could only be displayed with a dashed line style.
