GUI Enhancements
Legend and Arrow Drawing
The drawing toolbar now supports legends and arrows.
Selection and configuration buttons have been added.
Text, legends, lines and arrows can be directly selected and manipulated
with the mouse when the Window is activated or zoomed.
Date and Time Configuration
A Date/Time tab has been added to the Tools-Options-System
Preferences dialog to configure data/time display of series in a Window.
Tic Mark Configuration
The Window tab of the Tools-Options-System Preferences
dialog includes an "Autoscaling Mode" option. "Peak Centering" centers
the data in the Window based on the extreme values and "Tic Marks" autoscales
the Window such that a tic mark always occurs at the bottom and top of
the Window.
User Defined Default Units
"Default Horizontal Units" and "Default Vertical Units" have
been added to the Series tab of the Tools-Options-System Preferences dialog
to set the default units of generated series.
Global Color Configuration
"Global Colors" in the Tools-Options-Settings
dialog are now saved in the session file so color settings are now preserved.
The colors of the Window caption is now configurable in the Tools-Options-Settings
dialog.
Full Dataset Display
Open Dataset supports loading an entire Dataset into
one window with each series drawn in a different color. The attributes
of these series can be manipulated in the Properties dialog.
Metafile and Clipboard Configuration
The Tools-Options-Print Preferences-Metafile
dialog supports configuration of the clipboard formats. This can optimize
clipboard transfers if the desired format of the data or image is known
beforehand.
Circular Calculation Configuration
The Tools-Options-Settings-Calculations
dialog supports configuration of Recursive Window Formulae. Recursive formulae
involve Windows that depend on each other to create a dependency cycle.
The number of evaluations per cycle can be specified.
Window Tiling
Worksheets can be tiled vertically, horizontally, equal sized
and automatically. Custom Window layouts can also be specified.
Send Worksheet via Email
The File-Send menu option uses the default MAPI
settings to send a Worksheet as an email attachment. The recipient can
double click the received attachment to automatically view the Worksheet
if a full version of DADiSP or the browser version of DADiSP is installed
on the recipient's machine.
To configure Outlook Express as your default MAPI client, select the "Make
Outlook Express my Simple MAPI client" check box under the Tools-Options
menu.
Most Recently Used Dialog Box History
The Right Click menu now includes
a list of the most recently used dialog boxes. This history allows for
quick selection of the most often used dialogs. The number of dialog boxes
displayed can be configured with the Tools-Options-System Preferences-Misc
dialog.
Window Dependency Display
The dependencies of the current Window can be
displayed with the Tools-Options-System Preferences-Screen Elements dialog.
When selected, the captions of the Windows the current Window depends
on ("parents") and the Windows
that depend on the current Window ("children") are displayed
in different colors. The colors can also be configured with the Tools-Options-System
Preferences-Screen Elements dialog.
Tabular Display Configuration
TableView supports multiple header lines.
Header lines can be configured with the Tools-Options-System Preferences-Table
dialog. A column header can optionally contain a column number, series
name, series comment and/or units.
Cursor Mouse Selection
Data cursors can be graphically selected by left
clicking on or near the desired cursor. Cursor styles are set with the
View-Cursor-Settings dialog.
Automatic Dataset Display
File-Open-Dataset-Multiple Windows will prompt
to automatically add the correct number of Windows if the Dataset contains
more series than the number of consecutive Windows.
