Version History

· Fixed a floating point locale issue in color interval editor

· Made the hard-coded vertex color offset a property that is used for shading. Also only non-flat shading adds vertex color offset to vertex color

· Fixed a GUI display issue in Color Editor when running in Windows XP.

· Added two new chart types: 3D block and bar charts

· Added several automation properties and methods: axis grid visibility toggling, axis label offset, block/bar size and color properties

· Added optimization hint type to allow switch between minimum file size (slower startup) and minimum load time (bigger file size)

· Axis arrows are now plotted as solid cones as opposed to two line segments per arrow

· Fixed the locale issue when dealing with non-English numbers

· Fixed a crash when number of rows or columns contained in a selected cell range exceeds 65536

· Fixed the wrong view setting bug (needed an AutoScale to reset the display) the after loading a previously saved file.

· Fixed the email type bug when registering Grapher. Email type is now set to SMTP.

· Register and Unlock menu items are now dimmed once Grapher is unlocked. Backup License is now dimmed if the Grapher is not unlocked.

· Added color-based 4D data visualization.

· Fixed a bug in persisting number of decimal digits used for axis labels.

· Fixed incorrect upper limit initialization for auto range

· Ability to color-code graphs by user-specified data intervals. This is in addition to the existing per-graph series coloring.

· Added the corresponding methods of the new feature to the Automation interface.

· added a new output type: 2.5D delaunay triangulation for plotting topography

· added ability to overlay several output types in a single graph series.

· added a new visibility option to toggle on off off the visibility of tables

· enhanced axis labeling for better presentation of 3D plots

· added mouse wheel support for dynamic zooming

· added Export as Image feature that allows to export ThreeDify Grapher's 3D plot to one of a dozen image file formats in user-specified size (width and height).

· added option to allow to specify as background linear and radial gradient colors.

· order of magnitude rendering speed up by caching OpenGL text display lists.

· fixed a bug where switching to 2D views did not auto-switch to orthographic mode.

· added Spin-And-Animate mode to allow continuous spin at the end of the spin (as requested by one of our registered customers)

· added ability to change the label formats for 3 coordinate axes

· provided substantial performance improvement when switching to a predefined 2D view

· fixed the broken legend introduced in version 1.5.3.

· added 3 preset 2D views (XY, YZ and ZX) of 3D plots

· changed the Refresh command so that it will not auto-scale anymore (only Auto Scale command auto-scale the graph)

· The add-in is now signed with a code signing certificate. This means that the ActiveX warning dialog no longer shows up on startup.

· Added a new menu (Add/Update Graph Series) to the Excel Grpher Addin menu bar

· added a powerful usability enhancement that allows user to easily select X,Y,Z cell ranges with mouse. The selected ranges do not have to be of same dimension and size and they will be auto-resized.

· fixed a long-standing rendering bug where surface plot was missing some faces when input data is MxN dimensions and plot type is surface.

· added the support for pivot-table like format.

· specified color values for points are now rendered properly.

· Added dockable Graph Legend and related COM interface methods.

· Fixed a bug when hosted by Excel 2003 and 2007 where hitting Apply button in Input/Output Dialog crashes Excel.

· Silky Smooth rotation with an ArcBall interface.

· Option to plot data as line segments.

· Option to add color "cells" for data points.

· Support for more flexible data formats.

· Fix for the color issue: color of a graph series does not alwayszfollow the user-specified value

· Tab inside Input/Output dialog now works (Excel Addin version only).

· Ability to change axis scales from Properties page.

· Increased maximum allowed input points from 10,000 to 100,000 when input point type is "organized MxN points" (Excel Addin version only).

· Plot multiple graph series with individual properties such as line and point color, line width, and point size.

· Automatic generation of solid surface from unorganized points (Excel Addin version only)

· Ability to update existing plot with new data or add new plot to the existing plot

· Support Perspective and Orthographic projection

· Different plot styles: Lines, Points, LinePoint, Surface

· Axis customization, including customizable font, colors, and titles.

· Ability to embed inside Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Access) documents.

· Extremely compact file format means very small addition to native MS Office documents.
