5 2011-01-15 (lbayuk) ===== Released as 5.3.1 =====
6 * phplot.php: Updated version
7 * README.txt: Updated for new release
8 * NEWS.txt: Add text for new release
11 * Fixed some style / indent errors, and 1 redundant test.
14 * For bug 3143586 "Multiple plots per image - fixes & docs":
15 Make sure there is a documented way to reset PHPlot feature
16 settings, especially those for which the default settings result
17 in automatic calculated values. Where possible, calling a Set*()
18 function with no arguments should reset the feature to defaults.
20 + Changed SetLegendPixels() arguments to be optional with default
21 NULL meaning reset to automatic positioning.
23 + Fixed SetXAxisPosition() and SetYAxisPosition() to accept empty
24 string '' to mean reset to default automatic positioning.
25 Make arguments optional, defaulting to empty string.
27 + Changed SetNumXTicks() and SetNumYTicks() arguments to be
28 optional with default empty string '' meaning reset to
29 of automatic calculation.
31 * Changed SetPointShapes() to use CheckOptionArray(). This
32 simplifies the function with no change in operation.
34 * Extend copyright years to 2011.
37 * Fix for bug 3147397 "Data colors missing with multiple plots":
38 + Do not truncate the data_colors and related arrays, so the full
39 set of colors will be available for subsequent plots on the image.
40 (Color indexes are still allocated in the image only as needed.)
41 + New internal functions GetColorIndexArray() and
42 GetDarkColorIndexArray(), replacing previous use of array_map().
43 + Removed internal function truncate_array() - no longer used.
44 + Changed SetColorIndexes(), NeedDataDarkColors(), and
45 NeedErrorBarColors() to only allocate the color indexes that will
46 be needed (instead of allocating all colors in the truncated color
50 * Instead of throwing an error, SetLegend(NULL) now clears the legend
51 array. This can be useful with multiple plots on an image. Before
52 this change, only SetLegend(array()) did that (possibly by accident).
55 * Do not have SetDefaultStyles() call deprecated SetLabelColor().
57 * Fixes for bug 3143586 "Multiple plots per image - fixes & docs":
58 + Fix DrawLegend so it doesn't forget that the legend position
59 was specified in world coordinates. This fixes the legend
60 position for plots after the first.
61 + Don't draw the image border more than once (although this would
62 probably have no impact on the resulting image). This parallels
63 the behavior for the main plot title and the image background.
64 Replaced member variables background_done and title_done with a new
65 member array done[] which will track when these elements were done.
68 * Fix comments above CalcPlotAreaWorld(). Deleted incorrect information
69 from before data-data-yx existed, and before DecodeDataType rewrite.
71 2010-12-04 (lbayuk) ===== Released as 5.3.0 =====
72 * phplot.php: Updated version
73 * README.txt: Updated for new release
74 * NEWS.txt: Add text for new release
77 * Feature request 3127005 "Ability to suppress X/Y axis lines":
78 Added SetDrawXAxis() and SetDrawYAxis() to control flags which
79 will suppress drawing the X or Y axis lines. (These lines were
80 probably the only PHPlot elements that could not be turned off.)
81 Changed DrawXAxis() and DrawYAxis() to conditionally draw the
85 * Feature request 3117873 "Data value labels in more plot types":
86 Implemented Data Value Labels for plot types points, lines,
87 linepoints, and squared. Added 2 class variables which can be
88 set to control the distance and angle of the labels from points.
89 New internal function CheckDataValueLabels() calculates position
90 and text alignment for these labels.
92 * Updated comments for Set[XY]DataLabelPos to match the text in
93 the manual, which was rewritten to clarify label types.
96 * Code cleanup. Moved some functions around to group "plot drawing
97 helpers" separately from "plot drawing". No changes to operation.
100 * Feature request 3111166 "Control legend colorbox width":
101 Added a class variable legend_colorbox_width which can be changed
102 to make the colorboxes wider or narrower.
105 * Feature request 3093483 "Investing support chart types":
106 Added 3 new plot types: Basic OHLC (Open/High/Low/Close), Candlesticks,
107 and Filled Candlesticks. Implemented with one new function to handle the
108 3 new plot types: ohlc, candlesticks, and candlesticks2.
111 * Moved information about plot types into a new static member array
112 plots[]. (This is an internal change with no impact on usage, but will
113 make it easier to add new plot types.) SetPlotType() no longer needs a
114 list of plot types to check, FindDataLimits() does not need to check for
115 specific plot types to to process the data array, and DrawGraph() uses
116 data from the array rather than knowing about all the plot types.
119 * Changed internal CalcBarWidths() to take two arguments which indicate
120 how it should calculate bar widths, rather than having it check the
121 plot_type directly. (Taken from another, experimental change. This
122 minimizes places where plot_type is directly used.)
124 2010-10-03 (lbayuk) ===== Released as 5.2.0 =====
125 * phplot.php: Updated version
126 * README.txt: Updated for new release
127 * NEWS.txt: Add text for new release
128 * Makefile: Removed HorizontalBars.txt from release. This is now all
129 documented in the reference manual.
132 * Rewrite color handling. Default and specified colors are now validated,
133 converted to RGBA arrays, and saved. The colors indexes are not
134 allocated until graph drawing time. Unneeded colors are not allocated.
136 Fix bug 3045131 "SetTransparentColor problems": Transparency setup is
137 deferred to graph drawing time, after most other colors are allocated.
138 Fixes SetTransparentColor order dependency, and works with data colors.
140 Fix bug 3049726 "Optimize color allocation": Colors allocation is
141 deferred to graph drawing time, and colors for most elements are only
142 allocated if needed. In particular, the data colors and dark colors,
143 which used 32 slots, now only get defined as needed.
145 Feature request (partial) 3077554 "Finer control over plot element
146 colors": The colors of the main, X, and Y titles can now be controlled
150 New internal functions:
151 GetColorIndex(), GetDarkColorIndex()
152 Allocate pre-parsed colors for elements.
154 Does the deferred color allocation and defaults.
155 NeedDataDarkColors(), NeedErrorBarColors()
156 Called by graph drawing functions if those colors are needed.
157 GetDataColor(), GetDataErrorColors(), GetBarColors()
158 Custom or standard data color assignment for most plot types.
160 Shorten an array. Used to limit data color allocation.
162 Removed internal functions:
163 SetIndexColor(), SetIndexDarkColor()
164 Unneeded. Color handling is now in two separate phases.
166 Removed internal member variable:
168 PHPlot no longer calls SetDataColors before plotting, so this
169 variable is not needed to preserve the default alpha.
171 New internal member variables:
173 Saves color value from SetTransparentColor. For bug 3045131.
174 x_title_color, y_title_color, ndx_x_title_color, ndx_y_title_color
175 For title colors. DrawXTitle and DrawYTitle use them now.
177 Changed internal member variables:
178 i_border, plot_bg_color, bg_color, label_color, text_color, etc.
179 All variables for colors now always hold a parsed 4-component
180 (RGBA) color specification as an array, and are no longer
181 statically initialized to a color name.
183 New public functions:
184 SetXTitleColor(), SetYTitleColor()
185 These can be used to make the 3 titles have different colors.
188 * Don't let SetXDataLabelPos() accept 'xaxis' or 'all' as valid.
189 Don't let SetXTickLabelPos(), SetYTickLabelPos() accept 'all' as valid.
190 These were never implemented and never documented.
193 * Feature request #3073679 "Stacked bar plots with negative values":
194 Allow stacked bar plots (vertical and horizontal) to work with negative
195 values. Changed FindDataLimits() to not take abs() values for
196 stackedbar when calculating the data range. Changed DrawStackedBars()
197 and DrawHorizStackedBars() to handle negative values, including proper
198 label positions. The first non-zero value in a row sets the direction
199 of the bar. Mixing positive and negative values within a row works but
200 the results are not useful.
202 * New internal DrawBar() moves common code from 4 bars and stackedbars
203 drawing functions and makes it easier to deal with shading vs bar
207 * Fix bug 3074402 "Fix Y axis default for horizontal plots":
208 Make the default axis positions symmetrical for vertical plots
209 (X and Y) and horizontal plots (Y and X). This fixes the problem
210 with horizontal bar/thinbarline plots that have negative data,
211 where the Y axis stayed on the left and the bars went rightward.
214 * Fix bug 3056991 "Internal methods should be 'protected'":
215 Changed CheckDataArray(), number_format(), FindDataLimits(), and
216 DrawBackground() to be 'protected'. The test suite no longer calls
217 these directly. For SetIndexColor(), SetRGBColor(), DrawText(),
218 SizeText(), xtr(), and ytr(), left these as public with a comment
219 indicating they should be treated as protected.
221 * Fix bug 3057000 "Review 'deprecated' methods":
222 + Changed deprecated method SetNewPlotAreaPixels() to just call
223 SetPlotAreaPixels(). It was suspicious as coded, and was found
224 to be equivalent to SetPlotAreaPixels().
225 + Removed SetColor(), which didn't do anything. It was calling
226 SetRGBColor and discarding the result. After reviewing the
227 history of this in all CVS versions, it does not seem to have
228 ever been coded correctly, so there is no harm in removing it.
229 + All other deprecated methods seem OK and are left as is.
231 2010-08-30 (lbayuk) ===== Released as 5.1.3 =====
232 * phplot.php: Updated version
233 * README.txt: Updated for new release
234 * NEWS.txt: Add text for new release
237 * Fix bug 3051832 "Let PHP/GD find the font file":
238 Instead of checking for file existence, PHPlot now uses a non-drawing GD
239 operation to validate a TrueType font in SetFontTTF(). This allows GD to
240 use its internal search path, making it likely that fonts can be found
241 without needing a platform-dependent path in your script. Full paths
242 will still work, so there is no compatibility issue.
244 * Fix bug 3051906 "Better choice for default TT font":
245 Removed "benjamingothic.ttf" as the default TT font setting. This has
246 not been included in PHPlot since 2004. Changed SetFontTTF() to call
247 new GetDefaultFontTTF(), which will try a number of sans-serif font
248 names the first time it needs a default TT font. Considering the above
249 fix to finding fonts, this has a good chance of finding a working
250 font. It is known to work on Windows and some Linux distributions.
253 * Makefile: Removed phplot_data.php from list of files to release.
254 Reference bug report 3048267. This file has not been maintained or
255 tested, and has bugs. It will remain in CVS, but not be included
259 * Change new DrawLinePoints(). It does not have to check and
260 handle error bar plots, as DrawDots and DrawLines will do that.
263 * Rewrote DecodeDataType(). Previous implementation was hard to
264 extend and inefficient. Now it uses new class variables (not a
265 returned array) and is only called once, by DrawGraph. Changed all
266 users of data_type to use the new variables.
268 In CheckDataArray(), calculate data_columns properly for
269 text-data-single data type (pie chart) too. Simplify DrawPie
270 to use this, and merge 2 of the 3 cases.
272 Have a single function handle each plot type, so it can properly
273 check the data type and report a correct error message showing
274 all supported types. For example, DrawBars is now the entry point
275 for both bars and horizontal bars; DrawGraph does not directly
276 call DrawHorizBars. Similar for DrawStackedBars and
277 DrawHorizStackedBars. Lines, Points, and Linepoints also now
278 have a single function each, dispatching to others as needed.
279 (These changes were split off from an upcoming, larger change.)
282 * Fixes to SetDataValues: need to clear out the 2 arrays before
283 setting values in a loop, else if the function is used more than
284 once then old values will remain.
285 Move records_per_group calculation outside the loop.
286 (These were split off from upcoming, larger changes.)
288 * Part 4 of horizontal plots: implement horizontal thinbarline plots.
289 Added new data type 'data-data-yx' (label, Y, X1, X2, ...).
290 DrawThinBarLines() now draws either vertical or horizontal plots, and
291 supports data types text-data, data-data, text-data-yx, data-data-yx.
293 Fixed DecodeDataType() to handle text-data-single too, for completeness.
295 * Fix for over-padding style and color arrays. These were padded to
296 records_per_group, but that is the maximum data array row size.
297 The number of actual data sets is less, and depends on the data type.
298 Calculate the correct number as data_columns at the top of DrawGraph,
299 and use that to pad the arrays. Also moved early error checking in
300 DrawGraph() into new CheckDataArray().
303 * Code cleanup. This is a large change to unify the comment and
304 coding stye used in PHPlot. The PEAR style guide is being used
305 as a reference, but PHPlot will never be 100% compliant.
306 This patch introduces no functional changes at all.
307 - Limit line length to 110.
308 - Remove obsolete, partially implemented Doxygen comments.
309 - Add descriptive comment above functions where missing.
310 - Use consistent comment markers and control structure spacing.
311 - Remove ctags-confusing end of function comments.
312 - Rewrote a few if/else blocks for cleaner logic.
313 - Re-order some functions for consistency (X, then Y).
316 * Implemented horizontal stacked bar plots:
317 Use the same data type introduced for horizontal bars, 'text-data-yx',
318 and the same plot type 'stackedbars', to make a horizontal stacked bar
319 plot. Data value labels, both at the ends of the bars and within the
320 bars ('plotstack' labels) are available with horizontal stacked bars.
322 * Internal function DrawDataLabel() is replaced by DrawDataValueLabel(),
323 with different usage. The new function can also check to see if a label
324 fits in the allocated space.
326 * Fixed the text size check in stacked bar plots for data value labels
327 within the bars. The check only worked correctly for 0 degree labels. It
328 now works with any text angle. It suppresses the label if it is too high
329 (for vertical stacked bar plots) or too wide (for horizontal stacked bar
330 plots) to fit in the bar segment to which it belongs. Note that it only
331 checks in the bar direction. If the text is too wide (for vertical bars),
332 or too high (for horizontal bars), it will still be plotted, but will
333 cross the sides of the bar.
336 * Allow callbacks to return a value (to support new data_color callback).
337 * Feature request 3034164 "Extended control of data colors":
338 Define new callback 'data_color' for picking the data color.
339 Changed internal plot drawing functions DrawDots, DrawLines, DrawSquared,
340 DrawBars, DrawStackedBars, DrawDotsError, DrawThinBarLines,
341 DrawLinesError, and DrawHorizBars to use the data_color callback
342 (if defined) to select the data colors.
343 * SetRGBArray code cleanup (no functional changes).
346 * Fixes for error bars:
347 Code cleanup in DrawYErrorBar(), with no functional change.
348 Suppress duplicate drawing of error bars with 'linepoints' error plots.
349 This was already fixed for data labels. Now error bars will only be
350 drawn by the 'points' part, not the 'lines' part. There should be no
351 visible changes to plots. (This is needed for a future change).
354 * Horizontal bar charts (still an experimental feature) can now have data
356 * HorizontalBars.txt: Fix incorrect description of bar direction. Add
357 text explaining the new data value labels.
359 2010-06-29 (lbayuk) ===== Released as 5.1.2 =====
360 * phplot.php: Updated version
361 * README.txt: Updated for new release
362 * NEWS.txt: Add text for new release
365 * Feature request 2885930 "Horizontal Bars":
366 Horizontal bar charts are implemented, as an experimental feature.
367 A new data type 'text-data-yx' was added, which works with
368 'bars' plot type to produce a horizontal bar chart from a data
369 array with X values for each Y value. Changes were made to
370 FindDataLimits, CalcMargins, CalcPlotAreaWorld, CalcBarWidths,
371 and CalcMaxDataLabelSize to handle the new data type. Other
372 changes were made to handle label position defaults and grid
373 defaults. New drawing functions were added for horizontal bars.
375 * HorizontalBars.txt: new documentation file for experimental feature.
376 * Makefile: List new documentation file.
379 * Each plot-type drawing function now checks that it is getting a data
380 type that it knows how to handle. A new internal function unifies the
381 checking and error message. (This is associated with an upcoming,
384 Compatibility: If you were using an invalid data type for a plot type
385 whose function did not check, will now get an error.
387 * Removed some dubious code from DrawLines() and DrawSquared() and
388 rewrote comments there. The code initialized lastx[0] and lasty[0],
389 but lasty was mapped using the X (rather than Y) function. This was
390 obviously wrong, but closer inspection showed that the values were
391 never, used so the code was removed.
394 * Truecolor.txt: removed
395 * Makefile, README.txt: Removed reference to Truecolor.txt. Full
396 documentation for truecolor images is now in the Reference Manual.
399 * Fix bug 3010116 "Bad rendering of title in multi-plot image
401 Make sure the main title is drawn only once. (If drawn multiple
402 times with TrueType font text, the anti-aliasing effects result
403 in poor quality text.)
406 * Improvements to truecolor support (from feature request 2947679):
407 Truecolor support is now better integrated. The derived class only
408 has the constructor now, and the base class itself provides the alpha
409 color component support through the internal functions SetIndexColor(),
410 SetIndexDarkColor(), and SetRGBColor(). This means alpha channel
411 works with palette images too (in so far as GD supports this).
413 * Truecolor.txt: Updated per changes to truecolor support.
415 * Image tiling with mode 'scale' in tile_img(), used with image and
416 plot area backgrounds, now uses imagecopyresampled() rather than
417 imagecopyresized(). They are the same with palette images, but the
418 resampled copy gets better results with truecolor images.
421 * Feature request 3002606 "Add to plot and image border options":
422 Added options 'right', 'top', and 'bottom' to SetPlotBorderType()
423 (existing options are 'left', 'sides', 'none', and 'full'). This
424 now also accepts an array of the above options, giving complete
425 control over which sides to draw.
426 Added option 'solid' to SetImageBorderType() to use the actual
427 color set with SetImageBorderColor(), rather than the darker
428 shade as type 'plain' does (for some reason).
429 New function SetImageBorderWidth() sets the width of the image
430 border. The image border width is now accounted for in margin
431 calculations, although existing plots will not change.
433 2010-04-04 (lbayuk) ===== Released as 5.1.1 =====
434 * phplot.php: Updated version
435 * README.txt: Updated for new release
436 * NEWS.txt: Add text for new release
439 * Remove & from argument in SetDataValues(). The data array is not
440 modified and does not need to be passed by reference. (There is
441 no performance advantage, either.)
444 * Feature request 2947679 "Support for alpha blending/Truecolor":
445 Implemented truecolor image support with a new class
446 PHPlot_truecolor, extended color specifications to allow
447 specification of an alpha value, and added a new optional parameter
448 to SetDataColors for a default alpha value for all data colors.
449 This feature is *EXPERIMENTAL* (see next item).
451 * Truecolor.txt: New file, documentation for the new truecolor capability.
452 (The Truecolor feature is experimental, which means it is subject to
453 change in incompatible ways and the documentation has not yet been
454 incorporated into the PHPlot Reference Manual.)
456 * Makefile: Include new documentation file in release.
459 Fixed bug 2976735 "Improvements and fixes for 'area' plots":
460 Rewrote DrawArea() function which handles 'area' plot.
461 Part 1: This is related to feature request 2947679, Truecolor support
462 with transparency. The area plot function was filling each area from the X
463 axis up to the Y value, resulting in area overlaps. This wasn't a problem
464 with opaque colors, but with transparency, the overlapping areas resulted
465 in changed colors. The rewritten function fills the area between each line
466 instead of from each line down to the X axis. Plots with opaque colors
468 Part 2: Area plots now work when the X axis is moved up with
470 Part 3: Fixed FindDataLimits() for area (and stackedbars too) to
471 take absolute values of Y values. The drawing function was doing this,
472 but not FindDataLimits, resulting in incorrect limits if any Y<0.
473 Part 4: The rewritten DrawArea() also handles a new plot type
474 'stackedarea'. This is an area plot where the Y values are stacked,
475 similar to 'stackedbars'.
476 Note: As part of the changes, it is now an error to try an area plot
477 with an unequal number of Y points for each X.
480 * Feature request 2973995 "Add y-Data to Stackedbars":
481 Implemented Y Data Labels for Stacked Bar charts (stackedbars).
482 The labels are enabled with SetYDataLabelPos, same as with bar charts.
483 There are two types of labels: above the stack with the total, and
484 within the bars at each segment. 'plotin' turns on the upper ones, and
485 'plotstack' turns both on.
488 + Removed unimplemented second argument to SetYDataLabelPos.
489 + Fixed questionable logic in SetYDataLabelPos when given an argument
490 that belongs with SetYTickLabelPos.
491 + Fix comments at top of plot-type Draw functions.
493 * Fix for bug 2974639 "Stacked bars plot breaks with X axis != 0":
494 Stacked bar plots with non-zero X axis position no longer break apart
495 into segments with gaps. The bars are drawn up from the X axis, and
496 any segments or partial segments below the X axis are not drawn.
499 * Change related to feature request 2947679 - Fix 'dot' point shape:
500 Use imagefilledellipse(), not imagefilledarc(), when drawing the 'dot'
501 point shape. The fix was needed for future support of truecolor images
502 with transparency, but filled dots from imagefilledellipse() look
503 better (rounder) with regular images and opaque colors.
504 Credit to mvaldez for identifying the problem and providing the fix.
507 * Fix for bug 2963757 "point_counts undefined error in 5.1.0":
508 Fixed CheckPointParams so it sets point_counts even when the point shape
509 and point size arrays are already the same size and do not need padding.
512 * Fix for bug 2938219 "Bars go in wrong direction":
513 Fixed CalcAxisPositions() to be consistent in positioning the X axis.
514 When all Y values are <0 and the Y=0 line is not part of the plot range,
515 PHPlot will now default the X axis to the top of the plot, not the
516 bottom. This fixes the problem with bars to negative Y values being
517 drawn downward if Y=0 is visible, but upward if Y=0 is not visible.
518 This also affects thinbarline plots.
519 Credit to lauryn1298 for finding the bug.
521 2009-12-24 (lbayuk) ===== Released as 5.1.0 =====
524 * Change for bug 1795971 "Fix default data colors":
525 The default Data Color and Error Bar Color arrays now have 16
526 different colors, no duplicates, and nothing so light that it
528 Using '' or False as the argument to SetDataColors, SetErrorBarColors,
529 and SetDataBorderColors now re-initializes the map to the defaults.
530 This was previously undocumented, and in some cases set the map to
531 something different from the default.
534 * Cleanup: Remove DrawAxisLegend() - empty function marked TODO,
535 not really clear what it was meant to do.
538 * Fix for bug 2914403 "Pie + X/Y titles: Undefined property error":
539 In DrawGraph(), don't try to draw X or Y titles for pie charts.
541 * Feature request 2899921: "allow different format for data and tick
542 labels"; Bug 2906436: "Fixes for X Tick Labels vs X Data Labels",
543 and partial implementation of changes from user 'adoll' regarding
546 New public functions:
547 + SetXDataLabelType() : Sets formatting for X Data Labels
548 + SetYDataLabelType() : Sets formatting for Y Data Labels (bar charts)
549 + SetXDataLabelAngle() : Sets text angle for X Data Labels
550 + SetYDataLabelAngle() : Sets text angle for Y Data Label (bar charts)
551 The defaults for these are set up to be fully backward compatible
552 with previous releases of PHPlot (except see the next item).
554 Re-used function name SetXDataLabelAngle():
555 + This has been deprecated and undocumented since 2003-12-07, and
556 used to just call SetXLabelAngle(). For new behavior, see above.
558 Changes to public functions:
559 + SetXDataLabelPos() and SetXTickLabelPos() no longer cancel each
560 other out (set the other control variable to 'none'). Instead,
561 they are both considered before plot drawing.
563 Changes to internal functions:
564 + DrawDataLabel() now uses the font, angle, and color arguments as
565 provided, and does not substitute values if they are empty.
566 + SetLabelType() now takes mode='xd' and 'yd' for X Data and Y Data
567 label formatting; 'x' and 'y' are for tick labels only now.
568 + Functions that work on Data labels now call FormatLabel() with the
569 new mode parameter value 'xd' or 'yd, and use the new
570 data_label_angle variables.
571 + New CheckLabels(), used by DrawGraph to process label parameters.
572 + CalcMargins() - Rewritten to handle changes to Tick and Data labels.
574 Changes to internal class variables:
575 + New: x_data_label_angle, y_data_label_angle
576 + Do not initialize x_tick_label_pos or x_data_label_pos, so that
577 CheckLabels() can tell if they were set or not and apply defaults.
578 + Initialize y_data_label_pos to 'none', not 'plotleft'.
579 + Add 2 more indexes to label_format[] array: 'xd' and 'yd'.
582 + Delete unused internal class variable: draw_y_data_label_lines
583 + Delete unused function SetDrawYDataLabelLines()
586 * Fix bug 1795972 "Fix default point shapes":
587 + Added 10 new point shapes to the existing 10 shapes.
588 + Changed the default point shape from all 'diamond' to a
589 selection of up to 10 different shapes.
590 + Fixed bug in the code that tried to set the point shapes
591 and sizes arrays to be the same size. This was not working,
592 resulting in unexpected point sizes.
593 + Changed default point size to 6 for all shapes. It was trying
594 to be "5, 5, 3" but due to several bugs this was not working.
595 + Do not adjust shape sizes to even numbers (was done for only two
596 shapes). Instead, consistently truncate size/2 when needed.
597 NOTE: These may change the look of 'points' and 'linepoints' plots.
599 * Changed startup initialization code:
600 + SetDefaultStyles() was doing some odd things using a variable
601 called "session_set", with comments referring to non-existent
602 session support code. This has been removed. There should be
603 no visible changes from this. PHPlot does not use PHP sessions.
606 * Fix for bug 2908256, errors in pie charts with bad data array:
607 (From a Drupal contrib module report by thekevinday.)
608 With pie charts only, a data array with no valid Y values resulted
609 in PHP error messages. All other plot types handle this by producing
610 an image without a graph.
611 Fixed DrawPieChart to behave this way too. If there are no valid Y
612 values, or if the sum of all Y values is 0, do not error out, but
613 don't draw a pie chart either.
614 Also, pie charts now ignore non-numeric Y values, like other plot types.
617 * Fix for bug 2900914 "Problem with display of 0 on Y axis":
618 Changed how X and Y values are stepped by tick intervals, to avoid
619 cumulative round-off error. This fixes the problem when Y crosses 0 with
620 a tick step such as 0.1 resulting in a long label for a very small but
621 non-zero number. Fixed DrawXTicks, DrawYTicks, and CalcMaxTickLabelSize.
622 (Originally reported by cncnet)
625 * Improve support for using callbacks to annotate plots:
626 Added new callback 'draw_all', called after all drawing.
627 Supply plot_area[] as argument to some drawing callbacks.
628 Added new method GetDeviceXY() to translate from world coordinates.
629 Allow NULL or '' for $font in DrawText() internal method, meaning to
630 use the generic font. If callbacks want to use DrawText, this
631 avoids them having to reference the internal fonts[] array.
634 * Address bug report 2886365 "Declare all functions and variables in
636 PHP5 deprecates the use of 'var' to declare a class member variable.
637 All initialized class member variables are now declared 'public'.
638 (It was tempting to make most or all 'protected' or 'private', but
639 that would likely break too much, including the PHPlot Test Suite.)
641 Most class member functions which are meant for internal use only are
642 now declared 'protected', so they cannot be called from scripts
643 (except in child classes). (Note PHP5 does not deprecate the use of
644 just 'function' to mean public, so public functions were not changed.)
645 Internal functions are those documented in the manual under Developer's
646 Guide, Internal Functions. If your code breaks because you are using
647 a method which is now protected, please post the details on the help
650 Some member variables which were set in the constructor are now
651 initialized with the class instead. (No impact.)
653 Removed commented-out, FIXME-noted code for interim labels.
656 * Bug report 2839547, allow SetImageBorderType('none') to reset the image
657 border type. Also checked for other cases where there is no reset;
658 found one that exists (Set[XY]LabelType) but needs to be documented.
661 * Added a hook $plot->locale_override which can be set to True to prevent
662 PHPlot from loading locale settings from the environment with
663 setlocale(LC_ALL, ''). This is necessary for testing PHPlot on Windows,
664 where you cannot force a locale with an environment variable. It might
665 also be needed for people who want PHPlot's locale to differ from the
668 2009-06-12 (lbayuk) ===== Released as 5.0.7 =====
671 * Change PHPlot license to LGPL, per Afan.
672 phplot.php, phplot_data.php - Change license notice.
673 rgb.inc.php - Change top comments and remove bottom marker.
674 COPYING - new file, text of LGPL.
675 LICENSE.* - removed files - old licenses.
676 Makefile - change list of distributed files.
678 * Fix for bug 2803900: SetRGBArray('large') does not work. The include
679 file defined a different array name than the main script expected.
680 (This bug seems to have happened over 8 years ago.) Fixed the array
681 names to match. Also removed the ./ prefix from the included filename
682 so it will be found if on the include path but not in the script
683 directory. Also added error check if the rgb.inc.php include file
684 is needed and not found.
687 * Added new feature to allow partial margin or plot area specification.
688 You can omit, or specify as NULL, any of the 4 arguments to
689 SetMarginsPixels() or SetPlotAreaPixels(), and this means PHPlot
690 should use the automatically calculated margin on that side.
691 Credit to adoll for this feature.
694 * Fix for bug 2791502 "Error plots treat missing Y values as 0":
695 Plots with data type data-data-error now support missing Y values,
696 instead of treating them as 0. This works with lines, points,
697 and linepoints plot types, and also honors SetDrawBrokenLines.
700 * Fix for bug 2792860 "Wrong DataLabelLines with missing Y":
701 Do not draw X Data Label Lines at points with missing Y values.
704 * Fix for bug 2786350 "Missing Y data results in bad auto-range":
705 Rewrote FindDataLimits to ignore missing Y values, rather than
706 treating them as if 0, for calculating range.
707 Bug report and analysis by mrten.
709 * Fix for bug 2786354 "Incorrect auto-range for data-data-error":
710 For data-data-error data type, apply the positive and negative error
711 amounts for each Y point to that point only, rather than applying the
712 largest errors to the overall minimum and maximum Y value for the row.
714 Note: The two fixes above can change existing plots which rely on
715 automatic Y range calculation. The first fix affects plots with
716 missing Y values and min(Y)>0. The second fix can affect plots using
717 data-data-error data type and different error values for different
718 points. In both cases the new Y range can be smaller than before.
720 2009-01-20 (lbayuk) ===== Released as 5.0.6 =====
723 * Fix for bug 1891636 "Misaligned TTF X Labels":
724 PHPlot was using the actual bounding box of each line of text
725 to allocate space and set the text positioning, but was ignoring the
726 fact that the text baseline is not the same as the bottom of the
727 bounding box. This resulted in uneven alignment of the X labels if
728 they had different heights (for example, month names Jul and Aug).
730 PHPlot now calculates the size of text for allocation (SizeText) using
731 the descenders on the last line, and calculates the size for drawing
732 (DrawText) only to the baseline. PHPlot also now uses a fixed line
733 spacing for each line of text in a font, rather than the actual text
734 height. This allows separately drawn multi-line labels to align.
736 * Changes to line spacing when using multi-line labels:
737 PHPlot was using the class variable line_spacing to mean the
738 number of pixels between lines of multi-line labels. This made the
739 spacing too small for larger fonts, and it was not possible to adjust
740 line spacing for different types of text.
742 PHPlot now interprets line_spacing as the number of pixels only
743 for GD text, and as a scale factor for the font's built-in line
744 spacing for TrueType text. In addition, a new optional argument is
745 added to SetFont, SetFontGD, and SetFontTTF to set a line spacing
746 specific to that type of text.
748 * Changes had to be made to the legend drawing code to accommodate the
749 changes to font handling.
751 Note: The line spacing change results in slightly looser spacing on
752 multi-line TrueType text labels, and slightly taller legends, compared
756 * Interim fix for bug 1932571 "Data-Data Plot fails with same X values".
757 PHPlot will no longer hang when the range of X values is 0 (that is, when
758 x_min == x_max). It will arbitrarily set an X range of 1, so the
759 calculated tick step is not 0. This is a temporary fix. Work on a smarter
760 X and Y range calculation is in progress, which will handle edge cases
761 like this better, but it isn't ready and this bug has been open too long.
762 Credit to andyl for finding the bug.
764 * Fix font path: Use DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR constant not '/'.
766 Extended the label formatting capabilities, adding 'printf' and 'custom'
767 types, added a prefix and suffix for 'data' type, and allow format controls
768 to be included in SetXLabelType and SetYLabelType.
771 * Added 'printf' label type. The caller specifies the print format as the
772 2nd argument to SetXLabelType or SetYLabelType (default '%e').
773 $plot->SetXLabelType('printf', '%5.2f');
775 * Added 'custom' label type. The caller supplies a callback (typically a
776 function name) and optional pass-through argument as the 2nd and 3rd
777 arguments to Set[XY]LabelType. The function is called as $f($value, $arg)
778 to return the formatted $value.
779 $plot->SetXLabelType('custom', 'myfunction', $arg_value);
781 * In addition to Set[XY]TimeFormat, the format string for type 'time' can
782 now be set as the 2nd argument to Set[XY]LabelType.
783 $plot->SetXLabelType('time', '%H:%M');
785 * In addition to SetPrecision[XY], the precision for type 'data' can now be
786 set as the 2nd argument to Set[XY]LabelType. A 3rd and 4th argument
787 can supply a prefix and suffix for 'data' formatting. (All optional)
788 $plot->SetXLabelType('data', 2, '$', 'US');
791 * Class variables x_precision, y_precision, x_label_type, y_label_type,
792 x_time_format, and y_time_format have been removed.
794 * New class array variable label_format[], with elements 'x' and 'y' which
795 are arrays for label formatting. Elements in the sub-arrays are not
796 initialized until needed.
798 * New function SetLabelType, which implements Set[XY]LabelType now.
800 * FormatLabel() was rewritten to support the new label formatting.
803 * Any code that directly references class variables related to label
804 formatting will break, except for data_units_text. Use the documented
805 function methods instead. Setting data_units_text as a suffix is
806 deprecated but still works.
808 * The 'data' type precision for 'Y' is still used for pie chart labels.
811 Multiple comment spelling error fixes. No functional changes.
814 Changes to allow mixing GD fixed-font text and TrueType Font (TTF) text
816 (This change came from work done trying to fix TTF text positioning,
817 where it looks like additional information needs to be stored for TrueType
818 fonts. The old font data structure was awkward to extend, and allowing
819 mixed GD/TTF text was on the to-do list anyway.)
822 * SetFontGD(), SetFontTTF(): New functions to set a font, with type.
823 * SetFont(): Now calls SetFontGD or SetFontTTF depending on $use_ttf.
824 These changes should be fully compatible with existing programs.
827 * Updated comments explaining SetUseTTF() now sets the default type
828 (not the only type) of text used.
829 * Put all the font data into a class array. (Replaces $this->generic_font
830 with $this->fonts['generic'], etc.)
831 * ProcessTextGD() and ProcessTextTTF() now take the font array as one
832 argument, rather than separate arguments for font path and size.
834 2008-01-13 (lbayuk) ===== Released as 5.0.5 =====
835 * phplot.php: Updated version
836 * README.txt: Updated for new release
837 * NEWS.txt: Add text for new release
838 * Makefile: Remove 'Callbacks' from release target, as this material is
839 now in the reference manual.
842 Copyright updated to 2008 and PHP4 no longer listed as supported.
844 Major rewrite of the margin calculation functions to address multiple
845 problems. Fixes for bugs 1856207 "Margin error with 'xaxis'/'yaxis'
846 position, 1843012 "Make margins, drawing consistent", and 945439
847 "x_tick_label_height not set correctly".
849 Note: These changes are inter-dependent and cannot be split up.
851 * Defer all calculations to DrawGraph time, to eliminate order dependencies.
852 These functions now just store their arguments in the object, and all
853 calculations happen later:
854 + SetXAxisPosition, SetYAxisPosition
856 + SetPlotAreaPixels (Stores margins, not area, now.)
858 + SetXTickIncrement, SetYTickIncrement
860 * A new callback 'debug_scale' was added to trace the margin and scale
863 * CalcMargins was rewritten. Actual sizes of tick and data labels are now
864 used, rather than guesses like "use size of biggest Y value". A minimum
865 value (3 x safe_margin, or 15 pixels) applies to each margin.
867 * FindDataLimits no longer needs to find the longest data label, since
868 CalcMargins now does that more precisely.
870 * DrawXTitle and DrawYTitle now use position offsets calculated by
871 CalcMargins. Note: These titles are now offset from the plot area,
872 not the image area. The titles will move if you had set the plot area
875 * DrawYTick, DrawXTick rewritten to use pre-calculated offsets, and common
876 code moved to new CalcTicks().
878 * DrawXDataLabel: Use pre-calculated offsets for text.
880 * DrawGraph: Rewrote top section (before drawing anything) to do the
881 calculations in the proper order, unconditionally.
883 * Class variables removed:
884 x_label_inc, y_label_inc, _x_label_cnt : These were never used.
885 title_height, x_title_height, y_title_width : Now internal to CalcMargins.
886 data_limits_done : No more need to remember if FindDataLimits called.
888 * New class variables added:
889 plot_margins_set : Keeps track of user-set plot area or automatic.
890 x_label_top_offset, x_label_bot_offset, x_offset_axis_offset,
891 y_label_left_offset, y_label_right_offset, y_label_axis_offset,
892 x_title_top_offset, x_title_bot_offset,
893 y_title_left_offset, y_title_left_offset : Label offsets
895 * New internal functions:
896 CalcPlotAreaPixels : Deferred calculations taken out of SetPlotAreaPixels
897 and SetMarginsPixels.
898 CalcPlotAreaWorld : Deferred calculations taken out of SetPlotAreaWorld.
899 CalcAxisPositions : Calculate axis positions, moved from CalcTranslation.
900 CalcTicks : Calculate X and Y tick interval. This still uses the
901 same simple method (basically range/10), but now we could drop in a new
902 algorithm much more easily. This is now also used by CalcMargins.
903 Code taken out of DrawXTicks and DrawYTicks.
904 CalcMaxTickLabelSize : So CalcMargins can use the exact tick label sizes.
905 CalcMaxDataLabelSize : So CalcMargins can use the exact data label sizes.
906 DrawXTick : Code split out from DrawXTicks for symmetry with DrawYTick.
910 * Changed ProcessTextTTF() so SizeText() will return integers. It rounds
911 the calculated values up, so the bounding box really contains the text.
912 This also prevents unneeded float calculations in derived values.
915 Major rewrite of the text drawing functions to address multiple problems.
916 Note: These changes are inter-dependent and cannot be split up.
918 * Fixed bug 1813070 "Bad position for multi-line TrueType text":
919 TTF text is now drawn line-by-line, not as a block, for proper
920 alignment and positioning.
922 * Fixed bug 1813071 "Wrong title height for multi-line TTF text":
923 Corrected miscalculation of overall height of multi-line TTF titles.
924 This bug resulted in over-sized margins.
925 The height is now computed line-by-line, including the inter-line spacing.
927 * Fixed bug 1813474 "DrawText alignment arguments wrong":
928 Corrected meaning of 'top' vs 'bottom' alignment. PHPlot now follows
929 the usual conventions: 'top' alignment means top of text to reference.
930 DrawText default for vertical alignment is still 'bottom', but the
931 meaning was corrected. All callers of DrawText were fixed.
933 * Fixed bug 1816844 "Fix order dependency for setting titles":
934 Defer processing titles strings until DrawGraph(), so there is no
935 more order dependency (no need to set font before setting title strings).
937 * Fixed bug 1819668 "Horiz. align multi-line text: GD vs TTF":
938 The new text routines draw TTF text line-by-line and correctly do
939 right-, center-, and left- alignment of each line within a text block.
941 * Fixed bug 1826513 "FIXME in DrawLegend: Max label length":
942 Use actual width of widest legend line to calculate legend box size.
944 * Partial fix for bug 945439 "x_tick_label_height not set correctly":
945 In FindDataLimits(), save the longest data label, not just its length,
946 and use the actual rendered size of that string in CalcMargins() for
947 the margin calculations.
948 Also take into account which of the tick or data labels are visible.
949 This is not a complete fix, but is a significant improvement.
951 The following changes were made related to the above fixes:
953 + Replaced internal function TTFBBoxSize(), which didn't work right, with
954 SizeText(). It returns the orthogonal bounding box of a block of text,
955 and works with both GD and TTF text.
957 + DrawText() and SizeText() call a single function ProcessText(), which is
958 the only place GD text and TTF text are distinguished. (So eventually
959 we will be able to mix GD and TTF text on a plot.)
961 + New internal functions ProcessTextGD() and ProcessTextTTF() draw (or size)
962 GD and TTF text respectively. These are only called by ProcessText().
963 These are re-implementations which properly position and align text.
965 + Removed class variables title_angle, x_title_angle, and y_title_angle. The
966 titles only work at their fixed angles anyway (0, 0, and 90 respectively).
968 + Line spacing set with SetLineSpacing() now affects TTF text as well as
969 GD text. Previously, it only affected GD text. The default line spacing
970 happens to be usable for TTF text.
972 + Added new callback hook 'debug_textbox' for developing, testing, and
973 documenting. It provides access to the text area bounding box.
975 + Removed unneeded class variables x_tick_label_height, y_tick_label_width,
976 x_tot_margin, y_tot_margin.
979 * Improve error handling:
980 Internal functions PrintError() and DrawError() are now the same. Both
981 will draw the error message into the image and output it, and then
982 trigger a user-level error. If no error handler has been set, it will
983 exit, as before. But now the error message should also get logged, or
984 written to the standard error stream, depending on the SAPI in use.
985 You can now establish an error handler to catch most PHPlot errors and
986 do some cleanup before exit.
988 This fix also covers bug #1823774 "Default Font Path and Error Message
991 Fixed the return value of most PHPlot functions, to return False on
992 error, else True. Since uncaught errors are fatal anyway, this only
993 affects code with an error handler that returns, which is not
994 recommended and unsupported at this time. These changes are for
995 possible future error handling options.
998 * Fix bug 1836528 "Insufficient checking of parameter values":
999 Rewrote CheckOption to correctly validate option choices.
1000 (It previously accepted substrings and other incorrect values.)
1001 PHPlot methods that use CheckOption now must be called with valid option
1002 values. Empty strings are also no longer accepted.
1005 * Change to callbacks to support extra arguments.
1006 The PHPlot class can now pass extra arguments to a callback function.
1007 Callback functions now take the following form:
1008 my_callback($img, $passthru_arg, ...)
1009 Where '...' is zero or more additional arguments supplied by PHPlot to
1010 the callback. Each implemented callback reason will define any
1011 additional arguments it uses. The existing defined callbacks have not
1012 changed and do not currently pass any extra arguments.
1015 * Fix bug 1827263 "Spoiled up pie-chart if $val is close to zero":
1016 Skip pie slices which would result in an integer angle of zero
1017 degrees, because the GD arc filling function will draw a complete
1018 circle for that case.
1019 Credit to Viacheslav <webdeveloper.ua at gmail.com> for finding this.
1021 * Removed 8 of the functions (class methods) marked 'deprecated'. Only
1022 deprecated functions which seem to have been for internal use have
1023 been removed. Even old scripts shouldn't be using them, and they are
1024 becoming a problem to maintain.
1025 Removed: SetImageArea() DrawDotSeries() DrawLineSeries() CalcXHeights()
1026 CalcYWidths() DrawLabels() InitImage() DrawDashedLine().
1028 2007-10-20 (lbayuk) ===== Released as 5.0.4 =====
1029 * phplot.php: Updated copyright, version, and authors comments at top.
1030 * README.txt: Updated for new release
1031 * NEWS.txt: Add text for new release
1034 * Add callbacks - experimental feature:
1035 New functions SetCallback, GetCallback, RemoveCallback.
1036 New internal function DoCallback.
1037 Added callback hooks to DrawGraph.
1039 Re-arranged code in DrawGraph to bring pie chart drawing into the main
1040 switch on plot type, rather than a special case in its own block. This
1041 makes it easier to follow and easier to add callback hooks.
1043 * Callbacks: New file, documentation for the new callbacks feature.
1044 (This won't be in the manual while it is an experimental feature.)
1047 * Fix for bug 1813021: Miss-positioned right-justified vertical GD text.
1048 Fixed DrawText() to correctly position 90 degree right-justified text
1049 drawn in a fixed GD font. This could be seen with 90 degree Y tick
1050 labels. (Found by accident while working on TrueType text problems.)
1051 Also some code cleanup in DrawText: use elseif where appropriate.
1054 * Code cleanup: Simplify SetIndexColor() and SetIndexDarkColor().
1055 There is no need to first try ImageColorExact, then ImageColorResolve
1056 if that fails. ImageColorResolve does all that for us.
1058 Code cleanup: Rewrite SetRGBColor(). It now detects if an unrecognized
1059 color name or color value form is used, and draws an error message.
1060 Before this it would get a PHP index error and "headers already sent"
1063 * Code cleanup: Remove duplicated code for loading image files.
1064 Added new class-private function GetImage() which loads an image based
1065 on the image type, and also returns the image size. This replaces
1066 duplicated code in tile_img() and SetInputFile().
1067 Also fixed comment at top of SetImageFile which said it was deprecated.
1068 It isn't - it is used by the constructor. Moved the function out of the
1069 'deprecated' area up to below where it is used.
1071 * Code cleanup: PHPlot should not define or affect anything outside its
1073 - Removed the check for __FUNCTION__ (PHP 4.3 and up). This is obsolete.
1074 - Do not set error_reporting to E_ALL. Although it is recommended that
1075 scripts do this, it is not the place of loaded classes to do it.
1076 - Remove unused global constant TOTY.
1077 - Removed constants MAXY and MINY. Global constants like this are bad.
1078 These were used as magic index values into data[] to hold min and max Y
1079 values for the row. Instead, put them in separate arrays which are
1080 named data_miny[] and data_maxy[]. (This seems to be only used by the
1081 data line drawing function.)
1083 Comment cleanup: Remove one commented-out partial function DrawPlotLabel,
1084 and fix another commented-out code fragment in DrawYErrorBar. Both of
1085 these had unmatched braces in them which caused a balance-braces check
1088 * Code cleanup, array padding: Get rid of functions outside the class
1089 and remove the interim fix for PHP 5 (which changed the behavior of
1090 array_merge). Rewrote external function array_pad_array() as a new
1091 class function pad_array(). It does not need access to the class,
1092 but I don't think PHPlot should add to the global namespace more
1093 than necessary. The third argument (array to use for padding) was
1094 never used, so it was removed. It always pads the array with itself.
1095 It now only works on 'usual integer indexed' arrays (0-based
1096 sequential integer index). The was previously required but
1097 undocumented for some of the arrays (like line_widths); now it is
1098 required for all style arrays and will be documented. Now we can pad
1099 the array to the required length, not just N times its previous
1100 length, and we don't need array_merge. Deleted external function
1101 array_merge_php4() as it is no longer used.
1103 Deleted PHP end marker ?>. You don't need this and it can cause
1104 problems with extra whitespace in your output.
1107 * Code cleanup: Fix ternary operator misuse. This doesn't change
1108 behavior, but it was annoying me so I fixed it.
1109 Replaced all cases of code like this: $a = ($a > $b) ? $b : $a
1110 With just: if ($a > $b) $a = $b
1112 * Fix Makefile 'release' target to set owner/group when creating
1113 the tar file. This avoids having to run it as root, but it needs
1117 * Fix for bug 1790441: Removed the PHPlot quasi-destructor function and
1118 the register_shutdown_function() call which arranged for it to be used.
1119 This was preventing release of memory when a PHPlot object was unset,
1120 because the registered shutdown function held a reference to it.
1121 So rather than improving memory use, it had the opposite effect.
1122 Note: It is no longer necessary or recommended to use reference
1123 assignment ($plot =& new PHPlot) for PHPlot object creation.
1124 Thanks to annajilly for the thorough analysis, bug report, and fix.
1127 * Rewrote FormatLabel() to ignore blank label values. Adapted from a
1128 patch and feature request submitted by Gerhard Reithofer (exgerhardr).
1129 Blank labels used to produce an error if the LabelType was set to
1130 'time', and zero if set to 'data'. Now they are just ignored. This
1131 provides a simple way to have labels only at selected intervals when
1132 using time or data formats. For example, you can have a date/time
1133 label at every 10th data point by setting the labels for the other 9
1134 to be empty strings. Also: Removed $which_pos values 'plotx' and
1135 'ploty'. These were unused by PHPlot and this is an internal-only
1136 function so there is no compatibility issue. Removed error checking on
1137 $which_pos for the same reason; the error message used an undefined
1138 variable anyway so it wouldn't have worked.
1141 * Allow SetLegendStyle colorbox_align argument to be 'none', to suppress
1142 the colorboxes in the legend.
1144 Fix comment on $legend_text_align: empty means right, not left.
1146 Rewrote DrawLegend layout code to make it easier to understand. The
1147 result should be within 1 or 2 pixels of the previous size and position.
1149 * Fixes for bug 1779115: SetLegendWorld() fails on undefined vars
1150 Store the given coordinates and remember that they need to be converted
1151 from world to pixel coordinates, but defer trying to actually convert
1152 them until it is time to draw the legend. This way, there are no
1153 problems with the scale having to being set up first (which is nearly
1154 impossible to do). Made the following changes:
1156 Changed legend class variables to be uninitialized, and unset (rather
1157 than empty string) means use the defaults. Added a new variable:
1158 $legend_xy_world. If it is set, (legend_x_pos, legend_y_pos) need to
1159 be converted to pixel coords. If it is unset, they are already pixel
1160 coords (or undefined, meaning defaults).
1162 Changed usage of internal function DrawLegend(): removed all arguments.
1163 X and Y were always the class variables anyway, and now it needs to
1164 also use the new flag to tell it if X and Y are world or pixel coords.
1165 The third argument was unused.
1167 Removed third, unused, default NULL argument from SetLegendPixels and
1170 Changes to DrawLegend to convert x, y coords to pixel coordinates
1171 if they came from SetLegendWorld. Also account for new usage of
1172 the class variables: Test for unset to mean use default.
1175 * New feature: control legend text and color box alignment.
1176 Adds a new function SetLegendStyle to adjust the alignment of the
1177 text and the color boxes inside the legend.
1178 Based on part of bug 1208054, contributed by David Hernández Sanz.
1181 * Fixes for bug 1605555: Y Data Labels use wrong font and not formatted.
1182 Use y_label_font (not x_label_font) for Y Data Labels.
1183 Use the formatted value for the label, not the original text.
1184 (This applies to bar charts only, with the new Y data labels.)
1186 * One fix for bug 1208054: Localization of number format.
1187 If number formatting is enabled with 'data' format type, PHPlot previously
1188 used dot for decimal point and comma for thousands separator, and there
1189 was no way to change it.
1191 This fix adds a new function:
1192 SetNumberFormat($decimal_point, $thousands_separator)
1193 to set the separators. In addition, if that function is not used,
1194 PHPlot will now try to use locale-dependent separators. If locale
1195 information is not available, it will fall back to the old defaults
1198 Note: This change may have some negative effects. 1) If your locale is
1199 "C" or "Posix", you might not get a thousands separator now by default.
1200 You should be using a more specific locale. 2) If your PHP script is
1201 forcing a specific locale with setlocale(), PHPlot will probably undo
1202 that because it uses setlocale(LC_ALL, '') to import locale information
1203 from the environment. We have to do that, or a locale set through
1204 the environment is ignored. But it will override a manually set locale.
1206 * Fix for bug 937944: X/Y Tick Counts
1207 PHPlot could draw one too few Y tick marks, and one too many X tick marks.
1209 Changed the code to stop drawing X (Y) tick marks when the current X (Y)
1210 value exceeds the maximum X (Y) value plus a small fudge factor. The fudge
1211 factor accounts for cumulative error when repeatedly adding a delta to
1214 Notes: The bug report was writing about Y tick counts only, but X tick
1215 counts can also be wrong. The proposed fix in the bug report does not
1218 This fix changes the appearance of many plots which were missing the
1219 top-most Y tick mark. The extra X-tick mark problem is less common.
1221 ===== Released as 5.0rc3 =====
1224 * Fix for bug 1437912: x-axis label misalignment [bar charts]
1225 The calculations were redone from scratch.
1226 New control variable 'bar_extra_space', which works in addition to
1227 'group_frac_width' to control how much extra space is around the bars.
1228 Made bar widths match for 'stackedbars' and 1-bar-per-group 'bars'.
1230 NOTE: This changes the appearance of charts. bars in 'stackedbars'
1231 will now be thinner, and bars in 'bars' graphs will be thicker. I
1232 saw no reason for them being different before.
1234 This fix required fixing the positioning on the new bar data labels,
1235 which was off before. The bar data labels will now be centered.
1236 Additional fixes to bar chart data labels:
1237 For negative values, the label will center under the bar.
1238 Fixed X-adjustment to account for shading.
1239 Fixed to not suppress the data label if the value is 0.
1243 * Fix for bug 1594457: DrawError text wrap and background fix
1244 Do error image white background correctly, and word-wrap the text.
1246 * Fix for bug 1594458: Suppress lines or points in 'linepoints'
1247 Don't draw X data labels twice for 'linepoints'.
1248 Allow SetPointShapes value 'none' to suppress points, and allow
1249 SetLineStyles value 'none' to suppress lines. This allows a 'linepoints'
1250 graph to mix lines only, points only, and both on the same graph.
1254 * Fixes for bug 1446523:
1255 + Wrong variable name in deprecated SetAxisFontSize()
1256 + Fails to properly handle error if SetDataValues() was never
1257 called, or not called with a data array.
1259 * Fix for bug 1117122: Pie Chart ignores SetPlotAreaPixels
1260 Don't let DrawGraph recalculate the plot area for pie charts if the
1261 user already set it with SetPlotAreaPixels.
1263 NOTE: This fix may slightly change the appearance of some pie charts,
1264 whether or not they use SetPlotAreaPixels.
1266 * Fix for bug 1103992: Wrong max Y calculated for stackedbars
1267 Changes FindDataLimits to calculate max Y correctly. It was counting
1268 the first Y value in each record twice, which is always wrong but
1269 only affected stackedbars because the Y values are summed.
1271 * Fix for bug 1096199: Wrong error bar colors in DrawDotsError.
1272 Rewrites DrawDotsError to make it work like DrawLinesError to
1273 correctly increment the record and color indexes.
1274 Also fixes uninitialized x_now_pixels.
1276 * Fix for bug 1096197: No borders on unshaded Draw[Stacked]Bars
1277 Unshaded Bars and StackedBars covered the border with the rectangle.
1278 The fix is to draw the rectangle, then the border.
1280 NOTE: This fix changes chart appearance. Bars and Stacked Bars
1281 will now get a black border around each bar by default, if you
1282 turn off the 3D-shading. If you want borderless, unshaded bars
1283 you need to use SetDataBorderColors to set the data border colors
1284 to be the same as the data colors.
1286 * Fix for bug 1333164: Negative data values, if string variables, result
1287 in unfilled bars. The problem was a string-to-string compare of a
1288 negative number with the empty string x_axis_position. Fixed by
1289 initializing x_axis_y_pixels to 0 if SetXAxisPosition was not used.
1293 * Fix for bug [ 1161072 ] SetInputFile warning, background overwrite
1298 * fix for bug: [ 1182666 ] Y Auto-scale rounds in wrong direction
1300 * Fix for bugs 1144644 TrueType font path problems and 1106328 TTF
1301 path/filename inconsistency
1303 * Fix Bug: [ 1117120 ] X Title sizing uses Y Title font height
1306 * Error in SetLineStyles() - does not accept an array argument
1310 * Small typo fixed in SetYDataLabelPos
1312 * Update SetDataLabelPos: For past compatibility we accept plotleft,
1313 ...but pass it to SetTickLabelPos
1316 * Change to line 3802: data lables now work with multiple bars with *$idx
1319 * Added Function DrawDataLabels to put data labels in world coords,
1320 added call from DrawBars and modified SetYDataLabelPos to flag
1321 whether or not to call DrawDataLabels.
