- Version 1.98 (14.12.96)
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- - Plotter3D crashed when you quit the program with render window open
- - function-named windows are now also disabled if you edit the function
- - rearranged function-calls of possible crash-point:
- It seems that MUI simply "forget" to kill some notifications which
- results in heavy crashes. To avoid this I use an undocumented MUI function
- to kill these notification. This workaround was introduced in version 1.89
- of Plotter3D and has never caused any problems on my 030. But maybe this
- MUI function is one reason why Plotter3D sometimes crashes on a 060 while
- playing with the function-named windows.
- I hope this solves the problem.
- - removed bug in realtime palette-routines
- - removed bug with palette-cyclegadget of realtime-preference
- - sometimes the texture & faked phong routines had overwritten memory from
- adress $00000000 on.
- - progress-window now has 4 textlines
-
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Version 1.97 (13.12.96)
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- - now every preference-window has an own window-id == you can snapshot the
- size of every preference-window
- - built in new realtime mode: faked phong
- - added special map for faked phong. Try it now, it looks really fantastic!!
- Even better result if you choose a higher screen resolution.
- - now you can display the texture as background picture
-
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Version 1.96 (30.11.96)
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- - removed bug introduced in 1.94: the program stays in busy-mode if you
- load a function without an lightsource and try to render a complex preview
- that requires a lightsource
- - update of catalog files
-
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Version 1.95 (29.11.96)
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- - prepared realtime engine for variable data sizes
- - you can now initialize the previous palette with "C"
- - new realtime mode: texure mapping
- - speed up realtime routines. Saves 1K of exe-size and should increase frame
- rate especially with large functions.
-
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Version 1.94 (24.11.96)
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- - you can now export csv-files (comma seperated variable files)
- - windows are now disabled during complexpreview otherwise heavy crashes
- occur if you select a new function/drawmode during calculations
- - built in new functiontype: CSV (not fully implemented yet)
- - setting new palette in realtime preference was ignored
- - if preview window was to small then imagebuttons were drawn in the
- windowboarder
-
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Version 1.93 (10.11.96)
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- - exporting function now uses hashtables and therefore its much faster.
- - realtime preference were not loaded properly
-
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Version 1.92 (09.11.96)
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- - Plotter3D now can merge points together (great!!). No longer ugly edges in
- rendering (with lightsources) and realtime mode.
- Try 'Torus.func' with a merge tolerance of 1.0 and look at the result in
- realtime mode.
- - now you can export functions as Imagine objects (TDDD-files). See new
- export window.
-
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Version 1.91 (09.11.96)
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- - information window now shows some more informations
- - Plotter3D now can save the realtime pictures as (multiple file) animation
- (return starts/stops an animation block).
- - now you can toggle option 'draw angles' during realtime mode via key "a"
- - redesigned preference window for realtime and realtime window
- - undo capablity of preference windows were lost if you used contextmenu.
-
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Version 1.87 - 1.90 (31.10.96 - 03.11.96)
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- - because of growing number of windows the internal window-management needs
- to be reworked. Its now much easier and safer to use and decrease size
- of exe-file.
- - all windows can now also be opened from main menu.
- - standardized preference windows. Removed possible bug in creating
- routine of preference windows.
- - contextmenu of preference windows works again
- - added 'Last saved' item to contextmenu of preference windows
- - mousepointer is now invisible during rotation/movement. I still have no
- clue how to restore the old mousepointer position.
- - realtime mode now has mouse support (rotatation around X-,Y-,Z-axis)
- - standardized function-named windows (render, info, ...). Again makes
- handling easier and reduced size of exe-file.
- - removed memory loss of information window
- - asl filerequesters were not closed when parent window was closed. May had
- caused crashes.
- - Path popupbuttons in global settings window had wrong image.
- - removed enforcer hits in complex preview, rendering and realtime mode caused
- by function class. Because of an error in vector class the number of areas
- were calculated wrong (too much).
- Should also speed up calculations.
- - reduced memory usage of functions especially for small ones. (eq. a 20x20
- function now nees 25KByte less memory).
-
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Version 1.86 (30.10.96)
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- - added imagebuttons for all windows to preview window
- - main menu is now also available from preference windows
- - localized realtime preferences
-
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Version 1.85 (27.10.96)
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- - added preference window for realtime
- - cleaned up aslhandling routines. Now works much better (and exefile bcames
- smaller)
-
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Version 1.84 (25.10.96)
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- - added new external program 'ConvertPalette' to create own palettes for
- realtime mode
- - added some new palettes
- - francais catalog included (thanks to Jerome Chesnot)
- - update of catalog files
-
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Version 1.83 (21.10.96)
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- - Plotter3D now loads the palettes used for realtime mode from
- 'Plotter3D:Palettes'
- - LoadRGB32 is used for setting the palette of realtime mode -> faaast
- - removed wrong perspective with inverse depth sort off
-
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Version 1.82 (20.10.96)
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- - found a work-around for RMB-bug of MUI3.6
- - added some more menu-shortcuts
- - main menu is now available in all windows
- - improved progress window. It no longer appears and disapears senseless
- - listview of main window is now the default object of this window. Means
- you can control it without activating the listview (eq. with cursor keys)
- - changed behaviour of deltaslider. It's now more useful.
- - removed bug: after Rendering the viewport size was not reset to old values.
- Therefore sometimes the clipping was incomplete which results
- in ugly crashes.
-
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Version 1.81 (19.10.96)
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- - improved look of floatstring gadget
- - Inforamtion-window was not updated correctly if a function was changed
- - Plotter3D now needs at least MUI3.5 (v16)
- - now you can define default paths for functions, materials and lightsources
- - added "i"-option to realtime-draw
- - built in new "float to string"-function. No longer ugly "1.000" strings.
-
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Version 1.80 (20.09.96)
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- - first public release
