From paxton at kitp.ucsb.edu Fri Jan 6 14:00:28 2006 From: paxton at kitp.ucsb.edu (Bill Paxton) Date: Fri, 6 Jan 2006 11:00:28 -0800 Subject: [Tioga-news] Bug fix release: Tioga-1.0.I Message-ID: <9785F9DE-AA5C-49E1-9608-CE026BC72486@kitp.ucsb.edu> Version 1.0.I is a bug-fix release. My thanks to Vincent Fourmond for reporting a problem in show_marker. His bug report email was great. It included a pdf showing the buggy plot, and also had the Ruby source file for making it. I was able to recreate the problem on my machine, track it down, fix it, and make a new release, all in a couple of hours! 3 Cheers! ;-D --Bill From paxton at kitp.ucsb.edu Thu Jan 12 16:26:21 2006 From: paxton at kitp.ucsb.edu (Bill Paxton) Date: Thu, 12 Jan 2006 13:26:21 -0800 Subject: [Tioga-news] Update to the on-line Tioga documentation Message-ID: <3982B183-8F2E-46B8-A196-F1C7C139AA9B@kitp.ucsb.edu> Hi, I've released an updated set of documentation for Tioga. The installation web page (http://theory.kitp.ucsb.edu/~paxton/ tioga.html) has a link to a browser interface (http:// theory.kitp.ucsb.edu/~paxton/tioga_doc/index.html) that you might find useful. The "TextForTex" section of the tutorial (http://theory.kitp.ucsb.edu/ ~paxton/tioga_doc/classes/Tioga/Tutorial/TextForTeX.html) now includes a short "how-to" concerning adding packages -- it uses the "marvosym" symbol font as an example (use it and add smiley faces to all of your plots!).. The FigureMaker reference info (http://theory.kitp.ucsb.edu/~paxton/ tioga_doc/classes/Tioga/FigureMaker.html) has been split up into separate pieces in hopes of making it easier to use and also faster to load. As usual, please let me know if something has broken as a result of my "improvements".

The installation tests now include the automatic creation of a test PDF file. If it looks okay, there's a good chance the installation is really working!

Not another Tioga release already! Message-ID: <3B9A0BBE-A29D-46CA-B1F1-3B4E51FFA6EC@kitp.ucsb.edu> Version 1.0.K is Vincent Fourmond's fault! The same day that J was released, he sent me an email pointing out an oversight in the legend functionality. Not only that, he sent along an implementation to fix the problem! What could I do? I had to put it in and make a new release. So thanks to Vincent, you can now include markers on the lines in legends. Details in the new documentation for 'save_legend_info'. No more releases this weekend! I promise.

So now you can set 'fill_transparency' to 0.3 instead of setting 'fill_opacity' to 0.7. I'm sure that makes your day. The documentation has also been updated of course. --Bill
