SVGGraph 3.20
This version of SVGGraph ticks off something that has been on the to-do list since late 2019, so I'm glad to get it done. Especially because I had to learn or relearn some maths stuff to get it working.
Curved best-fit lines
I wasn't actually sure if this was a good idea or not - after all, I've already added support for curved line graphs. There is an important difference though: curved line graphs draw a curve that passes through all the points, whereas a curved best-fit line is a plot of the mathematical function that best matches the points.
Here's an example using the data from a previous graph that shows earthquake magnitudes with a curved best-fit line added in:
JPEG Saver 5.24
Here is yet another JPEG Saver release, coming out now because it has a couple of bugs fixed and a couple of useful extra features added too.
Windows are the eyes to the soul - wait, that's not right
The main new thing is this version is a command-line option. Oh, that's not very exciting, is it? Well, it's a command-line option that lets you run JPEG Saver in a fixed window that stays open until you close it, not like a screensaver at all. You will find a description and some examples on the command line options page.
JPEG Saver 5.23.1
It has just been a couple of weeks since the last version of JPEG Saver, but there are a few bugs fixed and I didn't want to wait until I have some big, complicated stuff done to release them.
Roses are red, violets are blue, it's Valentine's day tomorrow and I don't know where I'm going with this
Anyway, here's a list of what is new or fixed in this version:
JPEG Saver 5.23
This new version of JPEG Saver is mostly about transitions, though I did fix a bug.
New year, new transitions
Well, it was a new year when I started working on them. I hadn't added any transitions since 2021, so I thought it was about time I did something new, and I've come up with four that move lots of copies of the old and new image around:
- Sphere - images arranged in concentric spheres, rotating;
- Cylinder - images arranged in concentric cylinders, rotating;
- Ring - images in a ring, the camera pulls back and then zooms back in;
- Depth spiral - images spiralling away from the camera, which shifts position.
SVGGraph 3.19
New year, new version of SVGGraph, new graph type. Actually, there are a lot of small changes in this version but I'll start with the new graph.
Pareto chart
It's a type of bar and line graph, but with its own preprocessing so you don't have to figure out the line points yourself. Its main use is in quality control, but I'm sure there could be other uses for it.
