2.5 Changes from v.1.* ¶

There are a lot of changes for v.2. Here I denote only main of them.

• mglGraph class is single plotter class instead of mglGraphZB, mglGraphPS and so on.
• Text style and text color positions are swapped. I.e. text style ‘r:C’ give red centered text, but not roman dark cyan text as for v.1.*.
• ColumnPlot() indexing is reverted.
• Move most of arguments of plotting functions into the string parameter and/or options.
• “Bright” colors (like {b8}) can be used in color schemes and line styles.
• Intensively use pthread internally for parallelization of drawing and data processing.
• Add tick labels rotation and skipping. Add ticks in time/date format.
• New kinds of plots (Tape(), Label(), Cones(), ContV()). Extend existing plots. New primitives (Circle(), Ellipse(), Rhomb(), ...). New plot positioning (MultiPlot(), GridPlot())
• Improve MGL scripts. Add ’ask’ command and allow string concatenation from different lines.
• Export to LaTeX and to 3D formats (OBJ, OFF, STL).
• Add pipes support in utilities (mglconv, mglview).
