timeShift function useful for handling data collected by device with central USA timetags or from satellites in different positions.

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 (2023-06-22 r27065):

• accum function preserves timetags, to match diff function.
• 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.

Older Bugfixes (2023-04-18 r27028):

• 51: New logic for log ticks considers axis height.
• 58: 255-step colorbars would load improperly, slightly shifting the colors.
• 2517: new code preserving x-axis broke need-to-change-renderer check.
• 2516: poor error message when adding dimensionless number to time location in Jython.
• vap+hapi:https://jfaden.net/HapiServerDemo/hapi?id=icwc&parameters=Conditions&timerange=2023-04-03 failed to load because of recent change looking for events lists.

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.

Less recent features:

• 802: PNGWalk "write to csv" action exports quality control information.
• 57: new modulo red_cyan_blue_yellow_red colorbar, blue_white_orange, and blue_green_white_yellow_red.
• makeColorTable supports Units.rgbColor.
