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. This is unsigned and still being tested.
exe: a self-contained installer for Windows computers. (Production release is signed properly)
Built with Install4J multi-platform installer builder and deb and rpm available as well. Thanks, Install4J!
Color picker used to get just the right purple for old Apollo12 data from CDAWeb.
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 (2023-07-20 r27090):
- indicate the error message when git diff results in error.
- 2530 AppManager can be told that no remaining applications state should not force System.exit, to support spawn from native Python.
- Correction to "show all" checkbox in CDF GUI. Thanks, Ivar!
- Corrections to CDF GUI when rank 3 variable didn't have DEPEND_2, and other corner cases. Thanks, Ivar!
- 38: correct cadence on Juno/WAV/Survey.
- "mod" function now appears in mash-up dialog's palette of functions.
- 60: when a script manually initializes the DataPointRecorder, the new formatterArray was left uninitialized. Thanks, Bill!
- improve error when "home/jbf/..." is used my mistake, instead of "/home/jbf/..."
- accum function preserves timetags, to match diff function.
Older Bugfixes (2023-06-15 r27057):
- remove extra quotes which sometimes appear in script arguments but should not be sent to scripts.
- 2522: correction to bounds renderer, where setColor for the lines was removed with refactoring.
- export to CSV checks for FORMAT in QDataSet, just like other ASCII formatters.
- correction to Run Batch Tool when running in parallel (shift+Go), where constant parameters were not set.
- catch exception in ASCII GUI editor which would result in locking the inspect button.
- 2522: support fillTexture in SeriesRenderer.
- tweak the message where FFTPower complains because it doesn't have the timetags.
- HAPI specialized code for gzip is removed. They way I was doing this by hand broke the progress feedback, and Java can do this itself if it wants.
- 2519: CSV ASCII files can contain empty last column for comments.
- Annotation plotId property can be reset to "".
- limit warnings about irregular timetags with FFTPower.
- 2221: Ivar pointed out where a warning for LBL_PTR_1 length was incorrect.
- 51: Corrections to LogLin ticks labeling.
Features:
- allow PDS4 ASCII_STRING to contain ISO8601 times, to support CASSINI CAPS ELS data.
- 61: add "glow" property to annotations to provide contrast when no background is used.
- 567: add some support for matrix operators.
- 807: save vap checkbox to make local file references relative to .vap file location.
Less recent features:
- 59: data point recorder supports load of Autoplot's export-to-csv files.
- new timeShift operator shifts the timetags to correct for non-GMT times.
- 59: data point recorder can save its data as CSV.
- 806: preserve setStatus messages issued at the end of the script, not clobbering it with "done executing script" message.
- 803: more symbols included in "misc" tab of granny string editor, and dialog for picking any html entity added.
- Orbit number definitions now come from https://github.com/das-developers/das2meta/tree/main/orbits.
