Experiment with new triCluster routine, which identifies close points in two dimensions.

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 the internal data model. Data are then displayed by guessing the rendering method and axis ranges to provide a reasonable, useful view of the data. Data can then be additionally 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 (2023-09-20 r27162):

• 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:

• 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!
