Autoplot Application (20250604b)
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 are available as well. Thanks, Install4J!
Does the rarely-used OpenDAP support work for this URL? Yep, it does!
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 v2025a 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 (2025-05-13 r28243):
- 2705: Overzealous check on time datum handing in .vap files prevented Dave from saving .vap with annotation.
Older Bugfixes (2025-05-13 r28243):
- 2703: Check for empty fields when parsing ASCII files, and insert fill without entering try/catch block. Thanks, Ivar!
- Correct handling of PDS3 https://pds-ppi.igpp.ucla.edu/data/VG1-J_S_SS-PWS-1-EDR-WFRM-60MS-V1.0/DATA/WFRM/P9/V1P9_002/C0105058.LBL?WAVEFORM_BYTE, where itemBytes was miscalculated.
- Read in all PDS3 single-byte integers as unsigned.
- 0020: Support for RLE compression showed where byte[] was read out of uncompressed CDF file unnecessarily. Thanks, Mike!
- 2699: Nominal data parsed in ASCII files had terrible performance when number of unique items was large. Thanks, Ivar!
- 2701: Time-varying DEPEND_1 with synchronize. Thanks, Sadie!
- 2700: Add right axis plot works when there are multiple columns. Thanks, Danil!
- AutoplotServlet supports OpenDAP, where it simply hadn't been included.
Features:
- 133: Four-element waveform packets allowed to support TRACERS processing. Thanks, Chris!
Less recent features:
- 20: Merge in changes to the CDFJ library, to support RLE, Huffman, and other compression types. Thanks, Mike!
- Add copy filename to clipboard action in the cache tool.
Feedback on the function and quality of this release is greatly appreciated!
