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 are available as well. Thanks, Install4J!
Resetting the yaxis units properly updates the axis on the vertical slice as well.
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 (2025-04-11 r28196):
- rte_0753429255: support non-ASCII names in xls files. Thanks, EDY!
- 2694: scripts run from tools menu on second Autoplot window would modify the first window. Thanks, Andrew!
- 130: fully support error bars in x. Thanks, Bill!
- Do a sanity check on amount of memory available, don't even start if memory is less than 256M.
- Catch out-of-memory error which can occur when reading bookmarks during startup, returning one empty folder instead with "Out of Memory" title. Thanks, Matvey!
- 128: support XYZ scatter in das2streams. Thanks, Chris!
- clarify linear interpolation used in documentation for synchronize, "interpolation" is too vague. Thanks, Sadie!
- 127: double array of complex numbers (ds[m,n,2]) supported. Thanks, Sadie!
- 2689: clarify error message when jyds argument doesn't meet constraints.
- 2691: Add support for decimal years.
- 0126: Commented test code from review of FFTPower removed.
- 2688: clean up getDataSet('URI') when entered into address bar, providing convenient way to test URIs in scripts.
Older Bugfixes (2025-03-27 r28157):
- Clean up bugs in servlet's URI_Templates demonstration, which was broken when script security was tightened.
- New code in PDS3 library for finding the volume root allows more datasets to be read in.
- Correct target URL for help links ([?]) within tabs. Thanks, Erika!
- 2687: trigger a repaint in slice mouse action when axis units are changed. Thanks, Connor!
- 1359: redo code which implements the scan next and scan previous. Thanks, Larry!
- 2685: check for unbelievable valid_max in PDS4 (mvn_sta_l2_c6-32e64m_20141013_v02_r01.xml)
- FiltersChainPanel should always use unbundle('X') and not just 'X'.
- Remove unneeded decimal point from "0." tick when exponents are shown otherwise.
- 2684: don't drop title in fft operation
Features:
- Jython popup-documentation doesn't try to fold together functions which vary only by arguments, like with fftPower, since this doesn't work consistently.
- 2397: don't coalesce functions that differ only by arguments (findgen), update to new conventional Javadoc location at https://cottagesystems.com/~jbf/autoplot/doc2018/
- 127: support two-index array of complex numbers in crossProduct and complexConj.
- fftPower now allows missing timetags, using indgen for tags.
- filename=T control for aggregation will return the filename for each data point.
Less recent features:
- Scan buttons indicate the amount of the scan (e.g. seconds to next burst).
- 840: Initial support for jsonl data files, returned by the NEST and other devices.
- Various improvements to the SimpleServlet, including support for named colors, drawGrid option and tooltips in the GUI.
Feedback on the function and quality of this release is greatly appreciated!
