PAW version 1.09/01
1- PAW improvements
================
* In the command NTUPLE/PLOT one can now book/fill a profile
histogram if the option 'P' is given.
Ex:
Ntuple/plot 10.y%x ! ! ! ! P
* A new command introduced to change the color definition:
* /GRAPHICS/ATTRIBUTES/COLOR_TABLE ICOL [ RED GREEN BLUE ]
ICOL I 'Color Index' D=1
RED R 'Weight of red' D=0 R=0:1
GREEN R 'Weight of green' D=0 R=0:1
BLUE R 'Weight of blue' D=0 R=0:1
The number of colours can be changed via IGSET NCOL.
* Some bugs fixed.
2- KUIP improvements
=================
* New system functions $LAST,$KEYNUM,$KEYVAL and $ARGS
(See HELP KUIP/FUNCTION).
* VECTOR/READ: added option '*' for MATCH to search at any column;
e.g. VEC/READ ..... /match_string/(*)
* Other host editor than screen editor can now be used on Apollo,
e.g. HOST VI (HOST DM resets the Display Manager screen editor)
* Various bugs fixed
3- HPLOT/HIGZ improvements
=======================
- New options for 3D representations of the 2D histograms in the command:
* /HISTOGRAM/PLOT [ ID CHOPT ]
'SURF1' draw a 2-Dim histogram as a surface plot (angles are 30,30)
with colours. The color values are changing according to the
cell value. The number of colours used may be changed
via the command : IGSET NCOL n where 8 < n < 50
'SURF2' this option is the same as SURF1 except that the border of
each cell is not drawn. This is useful to do some "coloured
contour plot" if the two view angles are set to 90 (see the
new option in the command SURFACE).
'LEGO1' draw a 2-Dim histogram as a lego plot (angles are 30,30)
with colours using the same algorithm as SURF1.
'LEGO2' with this option a coloured lego plot is drawn but only 3
colours are used. One for the front face of each box (color
index 2), one for the right face (color index 3), and one
for the top of the box (color index 4).
In the same way, an optional parameter (CHOPT) has been added in
the commands SURFACE and LEGO to provide the same facilities but with
the possibility of changing the view angles. For this two commands
the available options are '1' and '2':
When a PostScript metafile (-111 or -112) is produced, colours are
automatically emulated with a grey scale pattern.
* /HISTOGRAM/2D_PLOT/SURFACE [ ID THETA PHI CHOPT ]
'1' this option is equivalent to the new option SURF1 in the command
HISTO/PLOT
'2' this option is equivalent to the new option SURF2 in the command
HISTO/PLOT
* /HISTOGRAM/2D_PLOT/LEGO [ ID THETA PHI CHOPT ]
'1' this option is equivalent to the new option LEGO1 in the command
HISTO/PLOT
'2' this option is equivalent to the new option LEGO2 in the command
HISTO/PLOT
- New option for 2D representations of the 2D histograms in the command:
* /HISTOGRAM/PLOT [ ID CHOPT ]
'ARR' draw a 2-Dim histogram with one arrow for each cell. The dir-
-rection of the arrow gives the direction of the local slope
(up or down), and its length is proportional to the variation
of the slope.
- Improvements in drawing contour plots.
- New options for 1D histograms representation in the command:
* /HISTOGRAM/PLOT [ ID CHOPT ]
In addition to the already existing option '+':
'+' Addition (or contribution) of the histogram ID upon the last
histogram plotted or the last created with option 'K' if windo-
-wing option (the command ZONE) is selected.
The two following options are also available:
'-' Same as '+' but the content of the histogram is subtracted.
'+-' Draw the difference between the current histogram on the picture
and ID.
- New option 'NCOL' in IGSET to set the Number of entries in the COLor map.
- The marker type 1 (the dot) is now scalable on PostScript output via the
command: IGSET MSCF s , where s is the marker scale factor.
- Optimisation in axis drawing :
* Less lines drawn for the grid in case of LOG scale.
* No more error message in the command AXIS if NDIV=0: an axis without
divisions is drawn.
- Improvements in drawing hatched fill areas (clipping and missing hatch)
4- HBOOK improvements
=================
* Mods in HDIFF (when histogram filled via HPAK).
* New routine HPAKAD
SUBROUTINE HPAKAD(IDD,X)
*.==========>
*. Fill histogram with array X
*. At the difference of HPAK which overwrites
*. the current channel contents by the new values in X,
*. HPAKAD adds the new values.
*..=========>
* New routine HFNOV (for online systems)
SUBROUTINE HFNOV(ID1,X)
*.==========>
*. To fill a memory-resident Ntuple
*. When the memory buffer is full,
*. the first events are overwritten
*..=========>
* Protections in HFN when HBOOK is used together with ZEBRA/RZ.
The current directory is now correctly restored.
* Some changes for the access to Global sections on VMS.
* A bug has been corrected in HLDIR in case of sub-directories.
* Some improvements in the fitting package.
5- COMIS
=====
* Some bugs in I/O statements have been corrected.
* COMPLEX arithmetic has been introduced (single precision only)
6- PAW on new machines
===================
- Versions of PAW with the following graphics packages are available:
* GPR on Apollo
* GL on Silicon Graphics and IBM-RS/6000
* X-Windows on all machines running X-Windows
