Release Notes for VERDI 1.2 ---------------------------- These notes describe the difference between the previous public release of VERDI (version 1.1) and version 1.2. The notes describe: New Features Bug Fixes Known Issues Build Environment The following new features were added in version 1.2: Made fast tile plot menus consistent with the other tile plot (unavailable options are grayed out) - these include enabling 'Show Lat/Lon' Fast tile plot has spinners instead sliders for time steps and layers Grid lines can be shown/hidden by checking the 'Show Grid Lines' check box menu for fast tile plot - this feature can also be configured through Configure Plot dialog EPS format is available for exporting fast tile plot image Fast tile plot is capable of probing single grid cell and showing row/column values as cursor moving around Fast tile plot keeps zoom-in while probing Fast tile plot zooms in to the right area A message box will pop up if there is a OutOfMemory error On formulas tab, right clicking variables can add values into the editor for editing Configurations through Configure Plot dialog can be applied immediately through the 'Apply' button All plots have a sub-title showing dataset sources by default Areal interpolation plot type is available to visualize and analyze the water shed deposition datasets CAMx data files are readable Java heap size increases to 1024 MB Mac distribution file (.dmg) is available More sample data files are included in the release The following bug fixes are included in VERDI version 1.2: Bugzilla Id: Description Bug 2900: World map oddities - the world map still has an oddity, but VERDI has been updated to allow the user to turn off the world map and use a regional map Bug 2525: format data on legend Layer number in the fast tile plot title is consistant with the current layer Layer number and time step are 1-based now instead of 0-based Double imaging issue is removed when fast tile plot is exported Probing fast tile plot grid cells doesn't have focus issues on the probed data table The following are known Issues in VERDI version 1.2: Specify domain range does not work for fast tile plot (only works for regular plot) Sometimes, the fast tile plot picture does not redraw and you need to click something to refresh it Add overlay of observations does not work for fast tile plot Add overlay of vectors does not work for fast tile plot BCON file support is not available Formatting of legend numbers is not accessible from scripting language Labels for domain and range axis cannot be entered on the fat tile plot Streaming of script commands to a live session is not yet available Bilinear interpolation of data is not available MPEG movie export is not available Pan function should be added to fast tile plot Need to use the specified legend number format for probing and running values on fast tile plot Support adjusting the min and max for the legend on the fast tile plot Add a blue-red diverging palette that is appropriate for some types of plots Make the maps configurable on fast tile plot (color, transparency, etc), and add a note regarding transparency State and county maps do not match the lines of the North America map Move the metadata button to a better place - perhaps to the popup menu for the dataset Show the map in the edit domain dialog Release Notes for VERDI 1.1 ---------------------------- These notes describe the difference between the previous public release of VERDI (version 1.05) and version 1.1. The notes describe: New Features Bug Fixes Known Issues Build Environment The following new features were added in version 1.1: Made fast tile plot menus consistent with the other tile plot (unavailable options are grayed out) - these include probing, saving animations, specifying subtitles, added a popup menu Added a conversion program (shape2bin) to convert shape files to .bin format files for the fast tile plot Allow users to add one or more custom maps for the fast tile plot Allow users to select or deselect maps displayed on fast tile plot The format of the values on the legend can be specified Lat-Lon data is now supported for fast tile plot The following bug fixes are included in VERDI version 1.1: Bugzilla Id: Description Bug 2900: World map oddities - the world map still has an oddity, but VERDI has been updated to allow the user to turn off the world map and use a regional map Bug 2525: format data on legend The edit domain window is no longer too big for the screen The following are known Issues in VERDI version 1.1: Specify domain range does not work for fast tile plot (only works for regular plot) Sometimes, the fast tile plot picture does not redraw and you need to click something to refresh it Add overlay of observations does not work for fast tile plot Add overlay of vectors does not work for fast tile plot BCON file support is not available Labeling issue on the time series plot Formatting of legend numbers is not accessible from scripting language Labels for domain and range axis cannot be entered on the fat tile plot Show lat-lon does not work for fast tile plot Draw grid lines does not work for fast tile plot Eps output does not work for fast tile plot Streaming of script commands to a live session is not yet available Bilinear interpolation of data is not available MPEG movie export is not available Title is cut off of exported quicktime movies Time steps and layers on Formulas/datasets tabs should be 1-based instead of 0-based Sliders should be changed to spinners on fast tile plot Pan function should be added to fast tile plot Probing single grid cell on the fast tile plot should show up as running value, with the lat-lon and/or grid cell, like the old tile plot When you probe on the fast tile plot, it redraws the tile plot over your table temporarily An Apply button would be nice to add to the configure window Need to use the specified legend number format for probing and running values on fast tile plot Support adjusting the min and max for the legend on the fast tile plot Add a blue-red diverging palette that is appropriate for some types of plots On the formulas tab, support using right click to add values into the editor for editing Zoom out to the extent of picture (from the popup menu on the fast tile plot) Make the maps configurable on fast tile plot (color, transparency, etc), and add a note regarding transparency State and county maps do not match the lines of the North America map Move the metadata button to a better place - perhaps to the popup menu for the dataset Show the map in the edit domain dialog THE Build Environment for VERDI version 1.2 is: • Java 6 - java version "1.6.0_13" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_13-b03) Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 11.3-b02, mixed mode, sharing)
