Autoplot Application (#{tag})
jnlp WebStart : Open JDK and Java 8 through Java 11 launch mechanism, 64-Bit Java will improve capabilities.
Single-Jar : .jar files can be launched on Windows and Mac, and contain a shell script for launching on Unix computers.
dmg: a self-contained installer for Mac computers.
exe: a self-contained installer for Windows computers.
Built with Install4J multi-platform installer builder and
deb and
rpm available as well. Thanks, Install4J!
Script shows example of how to select a subset of the data matching multiple conditions.
Autoplot allows plotting of data from many data sources, including remote CDF files and HAPI servers.
Datasets are identified with URIs, and by the URI's extension, data are loaded into one uniform data model. Data are
then displayed by determining the rendering method and axis ranges to provide a useful display with interactive axes and
mouse actions. The data can then be further processed with other operations like smooth and FFT, and Jython scripting
provides a capable programming environment.
This is the Autoplot v2024a branch. This is an update to the production version containing bugfixes and minor new features.
Java 8 is required.
To run on 32-bit systems, use the single-jar release and a 32-bit version of Java.
Bugfixes (2024-05-07 r27630):
- cleanData filter ignored the number of stddevs argument.
Older Bugfixes (2024-05-02 r27630):
- HAPI 1.1 supported again.
- 2589: add resetUnits to dataset command, which ignores any units the dataset already has.
- 2593: handle when unique names for each channel aren't found on this path.
- export to aggregatingDataSource had code sloppiness which requires vap+txt prefix and didn't handles spaces properly.
- 826: comment out new axis color feature for next production release, until issues are resolved.
- 2004: sometimes HAPI dialog would flip to other server during initialization.
- improve feedback when URI data source cannot be identified. (*.foo file)
- 105: color chooser droplist would ignore if black was selected in some cases.
- 2580: recent change to grab labels from image rich png metadata contained runtime error in some cases.
- 2588: single-record waveform dataset doesn't autorange in X properly
- 2585: don't cache idlsav listing. It doesn't seem to be necessary and is confusing
Features:
Less recent features:
- DataSetBuilder supports nominal units where the unit type changes (for different namespaces)
- AsciiParser supports dash and double parens in column names, supporting "visualFeature(visualFeature(ordinal))" and "co-rotational X component"
- Add print(matrixFormat(m,'nl')) so that matrices can be viewed conveniently and unambiguously.
- 826: Add axisOffset property, so that offset axes can be used in .vaps.
- 826: Add color property to axes, so that you can refer to a color.
- resolution parameter for Das2Server limits the requested resolution for interactive plotting.
