Plot ephemerisLineCount property allows the size of the plot to be calculated before the ephemeris are loaded, a necessary step for rfe811.

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 (2023-10-20 r27220):

• remove old test which unnecessarily abandoned the tick bounds calculation when more lines were requested for ticks than needed.

Older Bugfixes (2023-08-29 r27149):

• 1469: ASCII parser dropped a record when "where" was used and non-records followed the data. Thanks, Bill!
• 2555: orbit plot handles "+2hr/4" when there are multiple passes that are distant in time. Thanks, Sadie!
• TimeUtil.ceil(TimeUtil.HOUR,datum('2023-10-17T16:45')) corrected.
• 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. Thanks, Chris!
• 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

Features:

• plot.ephemerisLineCount property added, so that the layout can be done before ephemeris is loaded.

Less recent features:

• Identify dataset scheme T→Y→X, which should be phased out.
• : 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.
