FileNewEx, Conditional equations and CSV-import issues
Posted: Fri Sep 05, 2014 12:10 am
Hello David,
there are some issues I recently discovered.
- I'm creating two XY-plots via dplotlib.dll using "FileNewEx". Topmost is the last plot created (plot2). But if I try to save that plot2 via "File|Save As..." - dialog, plot1 is saved and also displayed directly after closing that dialog. Workaround is to display the first dialog via "Windows" menu option or to open the "save as..." dialog twice (and save nothing the first time).
- "Conditional equations" are broken. I get an "Syntax error in function" - message. I assume it has something todo with the "decimal symbol" set (under "Options|general"), because I managed it to run in the "Options|Y=f(X,Y1,Y2...)" dialog only if the "decimal symbol" is set to full stop "." . The "Conditional equations" in the "Edit|operate on.." - functions unfortunately aren't revivable that way.
- And finally a general data import issue concerning CSV-files. It is not possible to import files separed via ";" with decimal symbol ",". I had to replace the ";" with a tab. It would be a good idea to add "data separator" and "decimal symbol" - options in the "Secify Columns to Plot" - dialog. That way you may seperate the decimal symbol dplot uses on plots, from the decimal symbol used in CSV files (which changes annoyingly often).
Thanks
