This includes everything from v.4.0.0/v4.0.1 and in addition:

https://github.com/jkriege2/JKQtPlotter/pull/115: bugfix for drawing custom labels

NOTE: This release replaces v4.0.2, which was put onto the wrong branche and was dysfunctional (cf. https://github.com/jkriege2/JKQtPlotter/issues/123)

same contents as https://github.com/jkriege2/JKQtPlotter/releases/v4.0.0

in addition fixed:

• https://github.com/jkriege2/JKQtPlotter/issues/113: fixed a bug in the CMakeLists.txt-file for JKQTPlotterLib: some headers were not properly installed

Changes, compared to v2019.11.3 include:

• fixed issue #43: jkqtp_format() had undefined behaviour, thanks to user:Makis42
• fixed issue #41: Build error when JKQtPlotter_BUILD_INCLUDE_XITS_FONTS set to OFF , thanks to user:smistad
• fixed issue #37: CMake installs things into $PREFIX/doc/*.txt , thanks to user:certik

fixed issue #38: Buffer overflow, thanks to user:zertyz

• fixed issue https://github.com/jkriege2/JKQtPlotter/pull/34 (fix for log-plotting), thanks to @certik
• fixes issue https://github.com/jkriege2/JKQtPlotter/issues/36 (make new release)

Starting in summer 2018, JKQTPlotter received some major workover. During this, it lost compatibility to the QuickFit 3.0 code base.

Changes, compared to v2018.08 include:

• new: CMake-base build, which deprecated the QMake-build
• new: added QMake-Projects for static and for shared library builds
• new: extensive set of Examples and Tutorials
• new: checked builds with continuous integration from AppVeyor: https://ci.appveyor.com/project/jkriege2/jkqtplotter/branch/master
• new/update: support for building with Microsoft Visual Studio (Win), MinGW (Win), GCC (Linux/MacOS)
• update: massively improved (doxygen-generated) Online-Documentation (http://jkriege2.github.io/JKQtPlotter/index.html) (automatically generated after each commit using ravis CI)
• update: refactoring of the library's directory structure
• update: refactoring/renaming of API, including the function anming scheme and class names
• changed: using static const variables instead of #define for fixed default values (e.g. JKQTPImageTools::LUTSIZE, JKQTPImageTools::PALETTE_ICON_WIDTH, JKQTPlotterDrawinTools::ABS_MIN_LINEWIDTH, JKQTMathText::ABS_MIN_LINEWIDTH ...)
• Updates to JKQTPlotter:
  • new: added JKQTPSingleColumnSymbolsGraph for single-column data, e.g. drawn as (random) scatter or bee-swarm or rug plots
  • new: stacked barcharts with JKQTPBarVerticalStackableGraph, JKQTPBarHorizontalStackableGraph
  • new: use/support of C++11 features (e.g. std::function<> and lambda functions in JKQTPXFunctionLineGraph / JKQTPYFunctionLineGraph )
  • new: optional OpenCV interface
  • new: optional CImg interface
  • new: Styling System for JKQTPlotter
  • new: added debugging option, which surrounds different regions with visible rectangles (JKQTBasePlotter::enableDebugShowRegionBoxes() )
  • new: frames (plot viewport, key/legend ...) may be rounded off at the corners
  • new: diverse new styling options (default font name/size ...)
  • new: additionl options for styling coordinate axes
  • new: Mix-In classes to unify plot styleing functions (setters/getters) in all graphs
  • new: additional options for graph filling (color gradients, textures, ...) as provided by QBrush
  • new: added a general feature to JKQTPPlotElement which allows to show a graph in a highlighted state (if supported by the derived graph class!)
  • new: JKQTPXYParametrizedScatterGraph: added functors to transform column values into symbol type+size and line-width to give even more control
  • new: user-interaction tool that shows coordinates of data points near the current mouse position (when mouse is dragged, while mouse button is pressed), see: jkqtpmdaToolTipForClosestDataPoint
  • new: user-interaction tool that measures distances and angles when mouse is dragged, while mouse button is pressed), see: jkqtpmdaRuler
  • new: advanced styling options for boxplots + example for the styling: Example (JKQTPlotter): Styling different aspects of boxplots
  • new: notched boxplots, see: Example (JKQTPlotter): Styling different aspects of boxplots
  • new: several new plot symbols, see: JKQTPGraphSymbols
  • new: Statistics library with functions to calculate histograms, regression, kernel density estimates, ... see: Statistical Computations
  • new: iterator interface and improved documentation for JKQTPDatastore
  • new: violin plots (see Example (JKQTPlotter): Violin Plots )
  • changed: removed old selection-code and replaced by general highlighting feature
  • changed: JKQTPStepHorizontalGraph has been renamed to JKQTPSpecialLineHorizontalGraph (vertical variants also) and have gained additional features (baseline for filling and drawing of symbols)
  • changed: filled curve graphs (e.g. JKQTPSpecialLineHorizontalGraph) are now merely a specializedly initialized JKQTPSpecialLineHorizontalGraph
  • removed: Removed datarange-feature
  • update: reworked user interactions API
  • update: reworked error indicator base classes
  • update: improvements to contour plots (e.g. highlighting single contour levels, split into a class for simple C-arrays [JKQTPContourPlot] and one for image data in a JKQTPDatastore column [JKQTPColumnContourPlot]) + added example, see JKQTPColumnContourPlot and Example (JKQTPlotter): Contour Plots
  • fixed: colorbars at top were positioned over the plot label
  • fixed: RGB-image plots now work properly with inverted axes (image is inverted, befor image was not shown at all)
• Updates to JKQTMathText:
  • new: slanted fractions (\sfrac{}{}, \stfrac{}{})
  • update/fix: several general improvements and bugfixes
  • update/fix: improved error handling
  • update: updated contained version of STIX fonts, better handling of different STIX versions
  • update: improved documentation
