Release Date: June 2016
TracePlot version 2.0 was completely rewritten using a new GUI library, which resulted in lots of minor changes in layout and function.
At the same time, some of the following main features were added or changed in version 2.0:
- A Recent Files list has been added to the file menu, providing quick access to recently used carrier files.
A Clear Recent History item is also included in the file menu, for those who'd rather forget recent files.
- Save Image now allows a wider range of image file types, not just BMP.
- TracePlot now loads any saved Preferences automatically at start-up, rather than forcing you to manually select Load Preferences.
- TracePlot now includes a status bar at the bottom of the main window. The status bar has 5 sections. The first section shows help text as the user
highlights items in the menus. The second section shows the names of the currently loaded trace files. The third section shows the currently
selected Trace file format. The fourth section shows the number of traces currently loaded. And the last section shows the current X,Y size of the image display.
- A new Tools menu was added. This includes menu items to allow the user to Add, Modify or Delete, custom Trace file format specs.
- In the Tools menu, a new command was added to allow users to merge multiple contiguous trace files into a single trace file.
This replicates the functionality of our previous TraceMerge program.
- The File Open command now allows the user to select multiple trace files at once (up to the program limit of 6 traces).
- The Trace Colours tab on the Preferences dialog now includes a Trace Line Width setting.
- All of the current projects settings can now be saved to the traceset settings file, including fonts and 3D view positions.
