Barrel mission SSPC data is used to demonstrate vertical slice.

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 v2023a branch. This is an update to the production version containing bugfixes and minor new features. Java 8 is now required.

Run with 1GB of memory to support 32-bit Java versions, and run off of ci-pw build server: autoplot_1GB.jnlp

Bugfixes (2023-10-17 r27186):

• setLayout(2,2) would create two columns incorrectly indicating the marginRow is their parent, instead of the marginColumn.
• https Das2Servers are offered as defaults, not the old http addresses.
• 2553: Das2Server support for 301 redirects with list and landing page.
• Static Code Analysis inspects else clause for usages.
• histogram editor panel had a bug in regex, breaking it in most cases.
• 2550: show more digits when timetags are sub-millisecond cadence. Thanks, Connor!
• don't hide the "show all" button with the CDAWeb editor, since some PSP_FLD_L2_DFB_DBM_DVAC variables are support but are still interesting. Thanks, Sadie!
• 2319: Jython completions using Java Types, support x=X.Y.c(), gtr2= GrannyTextRenderer()
• 2546: Aggregation when CDF file is missing a variable. Thanks, Kris!
• rte_0338377624: null can get into array causing runtime exception. Thanks admin!
• %{CONTEXT} macro in annotations properly listens to updates in the plot's focus dataset.
• 2542: Javadoc improvements

Older Bugfixes (2023-08-29 r27149):

• 2541: check for non-int in examples list for integer parameter.
• 78: account for DasAxis property for multi-line format when positioning labels. Thanks, James!
• 2539: format to CSV for rank 1 N(T).
• 70:Copy-n-paste data from DataPointRecorder didn't properly use formatter. Thanks, Masafumi!
• Export-to-CDF with append detects that DEPEND_1 and DEPEND_2 can be reused. Thanks, Kristoff!
• DasCanvas topDecorators were drawn twice when a png was requested.
• GitHub/GitLabs ETAGs were used to identify fresh cache files, but not to reload cached files. Thanks, Bill!
• clean up StringSchemeEditors so that setContext can be used. Thanks, Jim!
• when PNG Walk was accessed with *.PNG and files of different lengths were used, a runtime error could occur.
• 68: put in a check for self.putProperty('DEPEND_0',self) which would cause strange problems. Thanks, Jim!
• 70: support $Y$m$d_$(H;delta=6) (and MMS files which each contain six hours of data). Thanks, Sadie!
• vap+cdaweb:ds=DN_MAGN-L2-HIRES_G17&filter=DN_MA&id=b_eci gets labels from the master CDF file
• NetCDF library updated to support CDAWeb's ICON_l2-5_FUV_NIGHT. Thanks, Gilda!
• QDataSet equivalent checks to see that the same indices are fill and valid.
• 2533: don't display warning message "slice on non-qube, dep1 has rank=2" when BINS_1="min,max" is used.
• PDS4 variable dimensions are shown in GUI.

Features:

• rfe811: add map to fixLayout call which will support a dialog of options. Add methods to support fixLayout on any DOM, not necessary the "live" one.
• SeriesRenderer gets kludgey "moduloY" control which will avoid a connection from 24 to 0 hours.
• Jython __setItem__ has special branch for when all indices are numbers, improving performance by using simpler code.
• legacy storage for options like width and height are no longer imported from Autoplot versions older than five years ago.
• "Display Data" mouse action shows the number of selected records, useful for counting.
• Round the valid min, valid max, and fill value from CDF files to seven decimal places to make them more legible, since the CDF library converts floats to doubles.

Less recent features:

• Das2 DasAxis object getAxisBounds is now public. Thanks, Jim!
• Support sub-millisecond Das2Server data requests. Thanks, Masafumi!
• DataPointRecorder timeFormat parameter supported, supporting sub-microsecond time resolution. Thanks, Masafumi!
• sense mouse wheel events on symbolSize and lineThick GUIs, to remove tedium of many mouse clicks. Thanks, Connor!
• DasAxis format property has a specialized GUI editor now. Thanks, Jim!
• apl_color_quantization colorbar added. Thanks, Jim!
• improve support for flatten and flattenWaveform to support https://cdaweb.gsfc.nasa.gov/sp_phys/data/psp/fields/l2/dfb_dbm_dvac/. Thanks, Sadie!
• 66: add LegendPosition.OutsideSE so support Jim and 1-em-height events bars. Thanks, Jim!
• 65: add new tcaRows property, which allocates space for ephemeris before ephemeris is loaded.
• 64: add new xname and yname properties so the DataPointRecorder can name x and y columns. Thanks, Bill!
