### Autoplot Application (20251010a)

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!

The cadence guess failure with RBSP EMFISIS spectrograms makes the bottom channel disconnected.

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 (2025-10-10):

- correction to Schemes.isComplexNumbers. Add example to Schemes.complexNumbers.
- |trim(2016-10-04,2016-10-10) now works properly. Thanks, Sadie!
- %{RANGE_NOORBIT} kludge needed more attention. Thanks, Darrelle!
- 3: check for orbits which start with /, since I was very confused when local file reference did not work.
- add verifyJythonInline so that isDataMashupJythonInline can be evaluated without creating a GUI and adding to recent timeranges.

Older Bugfixes (2025-09-02):

- 1425: Sadie saw where it was impossible to load the start times of an events list, because it ignored the ...?field0.
- isDataMashupJythonInline is now evaluated without running through GUI code and writing to recent timeranges.
- 2475: colorbar title now supports %{TIMERANGE} macro.
- Support CDF files containing both zvars and zvars, like vap+cdaweb:ds=AC_OR_SSC&filter=ac_or_&id=XYZ_GSE&timerange=2024. Thanks for the code, Mike!
- 2475: back off DasPlot handles %{TIMERANGE} macro, now we explicitly tell the Converter which node it is working for. Thanks, Darrelle!
- 2475: DasPlot handles %{TIMERANGE} macro, since Plot wouldn't update properly.
- 491: review and tweak how the orbit number for the timerange can be displayed in Annotation (using %{TIMERANGE;FORMAT=$o}).
- 2746: drawGrid preference is now saved in .vap files. Thanks, Connor!
- Schemes.isComplexNumbers checks for old COORDINATE_FRAME properly.
- support ISO8601 times with finer than picosecond resolution by dropping the picoseconds. Thanks, Bob!
- bugfix: new, more general, code to do rotations for any angle didn't rotate counter-clockwise, as was the original convention.
- Support MSL_RAD_OBS-L1 vp_moment_SC_gd which uses string data for apply_filter_flag virtual variable.
- vap+inline: with X,Y;X,Y;... wouldn't reenter the editor GUI (to add more points) because of index error.
- 146: Don't assume the first FFT window has uniform timetags, scan through until one is found.
- DasAnnotation "rotate" property finally supports -90, 0, 90, and 180 degrees.
- 143: AsciiParser's RegexParser would always reset the fields, making it impossible to use external timeFormat.
- URIs can now have { and } in them, supporting the pattern control of the ASCII data source.
- 2739: add --quietLoggers option to quiet loggers. Thanks, Kristoff!
- Orbits files come directly from https://github.com/das-developers/das2meta/tree/main/orbits, no longer relying on github to redirect the old name.

Features:

- add median, mode, and mean filters. Thanks, Cindy!

Less recent features:

- Introduce StringTransmogrifier, which will be used in annotations to transmogify from one format to another using regular expressions.
- 855: Support new Rank3WaveformXYZ scheme, wave[timebase,timeoffset,component], used on TRACERS.
- Replace font chooser with new GUI that is more conventional. Thanks, JFontChooser for your years of service!
- Implement apply_filter_flag CDF virtual function, used in Parker Solar Probe files.
- Pick Font Tool checks example text for missing glyphs and displays warning.
- 857: Annotations have new rotate property which can be -90,0,90,180, and arbitrary when anchor is center. Thanks, Cindy!
- 856: Annotations now have "duplicate annotation" pop-up menu item.
- Screenshots Tool does the final trim operation with multiple threads, greatly speeding up the operation.
- 855: support CDF rank 4 ds[t,en,dir,component] datasets, allowing one component to be selected. Thanks, Chris!
- 854: allow events list with column header "color" to contain named colors.

Feedback on the function and quality of this release is greatly appreciated!
