Master

• Fix WGLMakie performance bug and add option to set fps via WGLMakie.activate!(fps=30)

• implement nan_color , lowclip , highclip for image(::Matrix{Float}) in shader

• clean up mesh shader and implement nan_color , lowclip , highclip for mesh(m; color::Matrix{Float}) on the shader

• allow GLMakie.Buffer GLMakie.Sampler be used in GeometryBasics.Mesh to partially update parts of a mesh/texture and different interpolation and clamping modes for the texture.

v0.16

Big Changes

• add ECDF plot #1310

• add Order Independent Transparency to GLMakie #1418 , #1506 . This type of transparency is now used with transpareny = true . The old transparency handling is available with transparency = false .

• fix blurry text in GLMakie and WGLMakie #1494

• A new experimental Backend for ray tracing got introduced: RPRMakie

• Breaking Remove Node alias #1307 , #1393 . To upgrade, simply replace all occurrences of Node with Observable

• Breaking clean up Scene type #1192 , #1393 . Long story short, Scene() doesn't create any axes or limits anymore. All keywords like raw , show_axis have been removed. A scene now always works like when using the deprecated raw=true . All the high level functionality like showing an axis and adding a 3d camera has been moved to LScene . See the new Scene tutorial for more info: https://makie.juliaplots.org/dev/tutorials/scenes/

• lights got moved to scene lighting docs and RPRMakie examples

Small Changes

• Added the Cycled type, which can be used to select the i-th value from the current cycler for a specific attribute. #1248

• The plot function scatterlines now uses color as markercolor if markercolor is automatic . Also, cycling of the color attribute is enabled. #1463

• Added the function resize_to_layout! , which allows to resize a Figure so that it contains its top GridLayout without additional whitespace or clipping. #1438

• Cleanup lighting in 3D contours and isosurfaces #1434

• Adjust attributes of volumeslices to follow the normal structure #1404 . This allows you to adjust attributes like colormap without going through nested attributes.

• Add depth to 3D contours and isosurfaces #1395 , #1393 . This allows them to intersect correctly with other 3D objects.

• Restrict 3D scene camera to one scene #1394 , #1393 . This fixes issues with multiple scenes fighting over events consumed by the camera. You can select a scene by cleaning on it.

• add depth shift attribute for GLMakie and WGLMakie #1382 , #1393 . This can used to adjust render order similar to overdraw

• simplify automatic width computation in barplots #1223 , #1393 . If no width attribute is passed, the default width is computed as the minimum difference between consecutive x positions. Gap between bars are given by the (multiplicative) gap attribute. The actual bar width equals width * (1 - gap) .

• add logical expressions for ispressed #1222 , #1393 . This moves a lot of control over hotkeys towards the user. With these changes one can now set an hotkey to trigger on any or no key, collections of keys and logical combinations of keys (i.e. "A is pressed and B is not pressed").

• fix issues with Menu render order #1411

• add label_rotation to barplot #1401

• fix issue where pixelcam! does not remove controls from other cameras #1504

• add conversion for offsetarrays #1260

• qqplot qqline options are now :identity , :fit , :fitrobust and :none (the default) #1563 . Fixed numeric error due to double computation of quantiles when fitting qqline . Deprecated plot(q::QQPair) method as it does not have enough information for correct qqline fit.

All other changes

Are collected in this PR and in the release notes .

v0.15.3

• The functions labelslidergrid! and labelslider! now set fixed widths for the value column with a heuristic. It is possible now to pass Formatting.format format strings as format specifiers in addition to the previous functions.

• fix 2D arrow rotations in streamplot #1352

v0.15.2

• Reenabled Julia 1.3 support.

• Use MathTexEngine v0.2 .

• Depend on new GeometryBasics, which changes all the Vec/Point/Quaternion/RGB/RGBA - f0 aliases to just f. For example, Vec2f0 is changed to Vec2f . Old aliases are still exported, but deprecated and will be removed in the next breaking release. For more details and an upgrade script, visit GeometryBasics#97 .

• Added hspan! and vspan! functions #1264 .

v0.15.1

• Switched documentation framework to Franklin.jl.

• Added a specialization for volumeslices to DataInspector.

• Fix 1 element hist and make it easier to move hist .

v0.15.0

• LaTeXString s can now be used as input to text and therefore as labels for Axis , Legend , or other comparable objects. Mathematical expressions are typeset using MathTeXEngine.jl which offers a fast approximation of LaTeX typesetting. #1022

• Added Symlog10 and pseudolog10 axis scales for log scale approximations that work with zero and negative values. #1109

• Colorbar limits can now be passed as the attribute colorrange similar to plots. #1066

• Added the option to pass three vectors to heatmaps and other plots using SurfaceLike conversion. #1101

• Added stairs plot recipe. #1086

• Removed FigurePosition and FigureSubposition types. Indexing into a Figure like fig[1, 1] now returns GridPosition and GridSubposition structs, which can be used in the same way as the types they replace. Because of an underlying change in GridLayoutBase.jl , it is now possible to do Axis(gl[1, 1]) where gl is a GridLayout that is a sublayout of a Figure 's top layout. #1075

• Bar plots and histograms have a new option for adding text labels. #1069

• It is possible to specify one linewidth value per segment in linesegments . #992

• Added a new 3d camera that allows for better camera movements using keyboard and mouse. #1024

• Fixed the application of scale transformations to surface . #1070

• Added an option to set a custom callback function for the RectangleZoom axis interaction to enable other use cases than zooming. #1104

• Fixed rendering of heatmap s with one or more reversed ranges in CairoMakie, as in heatmap(1:10, 10:-1:1, rand(10, 10)) . #1100

• fixed volume slice recipe and add docs for it #1123
