GrayScale

2/6/2010
  • Added 'Stat' property to the legend. This property allows you to determine what stats (e.g. Sum, Count, Avg etc) are displayed when the legend style is set to lsStat. See tutorial here.
  • The program will now remember the last slide show folder.
  • Added and updated a few How-to topics in the help file including how-to do a Multiple Baseline Chart and how to insert a floating legend (see image below).
  • The flash tutorials are now accessible through a link on the 'Get Started' section of the help file.
  • New tutorial on modifying axis minimum and maximum values. See tutorial here.
  • Fixed a bug that caused path breaks to be drawn when none where inserted into the spread sheet.
  • Fixed the chart editor so that it redraws the chart when changes are made to the axis increment.
  • Improved the 'Check for update' feature, especially when the program is running on Vista or Windows 7.

Floating Legend

2/1/2010
  • Fixed a problem that caused the bottom axis labels to show wrong values when the chart displayed an overall stat. for a series such as Average or Trend.
1/31/2009
  • New Series Path Breaks. These are path breaks that belong to a particular data series.
  • You can now control if a series is displayed in the legend by checking the Show in Legend property (which you can find under the Series tab in the chart editor).
  • Various changes made to the interface to make it easier to plot data and to incorporate and control path breaks (phase change lines).
  • New properties and features added to the Periodmark object.
  • Various bug fixes.
  • Help file updated.
  • The web site now has a tutorial section which demonstrates various features.
4/20/09
  • Information about phase and treatment changes can now be stored with the data. For example, in the spread sheet, thick top cell border will now be interpreted by the program as an instruction to draw a path break line between the data separated by the border. See the help file for more information.
  • Default settings for the path break line (line style and line width) can now be set in the template section of the chart editor.
  • Fixed a bug that could prevent the program from shutting down appropriately when it was not allowed to create a settings file in the program directory.

  • Modifications made to the chart editor.
  • Bug fixes.

  • Fixed an issue that could cause the print preview of the chart to be drawn incorrectly.
  • Fixed an issue that could cause changes to the print margins not to take effect.
  • Added an option to print the chart without maintaining proportions between width and height. This ensures that the chart will be printed on the whole printable area of the page.
4/2/2009

Several new enhancements including:

  • New Legend Style (lsFirstValue) which allows you to identify a series by its first value.
  • The caption for your data grid is now the default title for new graphs based on those data.
  • You can use the chart template to set default values for:
    • Series Valuemarks (if and how text is displayed above each data point).
    • Legend Style (determines what is shown in the legend).
    • Series (data path) colors. Please note that you can create several different templates in the chart editor. This way you can have several different color schemes and looks and quickly switch back and forth between them.
  • Added toolbar commands to the chart window that allows you to quickly insert path breaks (phase change lines) , period marks and text.
  • Path break lines, annotation text and shapes can now be deleted by clicking the object and pressing the delete key.

Fixed problems with storing spread sheet data and charts. However, this version of the program may have a problem reading existing files creating with older versions of the program. In most cases the spread sheet data will be read ok but the charts will not :(

Some slight changes to the interface. Moved the calendar in the interval grid to the right.
