1.9.3e (2001 January 07):
-Fixed minor bug in GraphChart2DProperties.validate(boolean). Sometimes
returned "valid" when properties were invalid.
-No API Change.
1.9.3d (2001 January 04):
-Fixed bug for line charts with only one data category and set.
-Fixed minor bug in GraphPropertiesPanel.
-Changed default minimum sizes for LBChart2D, LLChart2D, and PieChart2D.
-No API Change.
1.9.3c (2002 January 02):
-Fixed bug in Chart2DPropertiesPanel. Colors type property wasn't working.
-Improved pie labels layout. Labels now hug chart more closely.
-Improved Dataset class for use with pie charts. Values to represent by pie
sectors are sums of all the items for each set of data in the dataset.
-No API Change.
1.9.3b (2001 December 29):
-For overlay charts, added ability to specify the order graphs are painted.
See GraphChart2DProperties.setGraphOverlayOrder (int).
See GraphChart2DProperties.setGraphOverlayOrderCustom (int[]).
-No API Change.
1.9.3a (2001 December 27):
-Rename static variable of Dataset.
-Fix bugs relating to incorrect layout when graph borders where different
thicknesses.
-Improve use of available space and preferred sizing accurracy. This was a
significant improvement.
-Other bug fixes for charts with extreme settings.
-Some API Change:
-Dataset.VALIDATE_ON_UPDATE renamed to Dataset.VALIDATE_ON_UPDATE_DEFAULT.
1.9.2c (2001 December 26):
-Each *Properties class now has a method that returns all the *Chart2D objects
that are using *Properties object. This is useful because *Chart2D objects
in GUIs can now be told to repaint themselves, without validating the the GUI.
-Some bug fixes in the update logic.
-No API Change.
1.9.2b (2001 December 25):
-Corrected javadoc descriptions in PieChart2D, LBChart2D, LLChart2D, and
Dataset.
-Renamed GraphProperties setVerticalLines* methods to setLabelsLines*.
-Renamed GraphProperties setHorizontalLines* methods to setNumbersLines*.
-Added new constructors/specifiers/accessors for many classes in order to make
chart configuration easier. No new customizability introduced.
-Moderate API Change: Renaming of some methods.
1.9.2a (2001 December 23):
-Switched to new structure for data sets. Instead of float[][] now use the
Dataset class. A Dataset class can be used by multiple different charts so
that copying the dataset is reduced.
-Changed naming scheme for axis properties in GraphChart2DProperties. The XAxis
and YAxis methods have been dropped and replaced by LabelsAxis and NumbersAxis
methods. This way, one GraphChart2DProperties configuration will produce the
same chart when added to either LBChart2D or LLChart2D.
Also the single PlotAxis method was replaced by a NumbersAxis method.
"LabelsAxis" refers to the axis for which one must specify labels explicitly.
"NumbersAxis" refers to the axis that always contains the range of numbers to
plot against.
-Moderate API Change:
-Change dataset structure from float[][] to Dataset. Use new Dataset methods.
-Change XAxis and YAxis methods to LabelsAxis and NumbersAxis methods.
1.9.1c (2001 December 22):
-Bug fix for GraphChart2DPropertiesDialog.
setCustomizeGreatestValue (boolean) not updating properties.
-Input error checking implemented for *Dialog classes.
-No API Change.
1.9.1b (2001 December 21):
-Bug fix for certain overlay charts.
-Changed the preferred size logic some. Always performs calculation regardless
of chart changes. This makes behavior more consistent.
-Changed pack() some. Calling pack() now sets the size of the component to its
preferred size. Not to be used if *Chart2D is added to a content pane.
-Some API Change: The behavior of pack() is different.
1.9.1a (2001 December 20):
-Updated Chart2D dialogs for 1.9.0 API. Dialogs are now designed for developers
expirementing with Chart2D settings, rather than for end users.
-Changed the preferred size layout logic some.
-Improved LLChart2DFrameDemo. Vertical graph lines should be visible.
-Some API Change:
-The old dialogs don't exist anymore. Replaced by new dialogs.
-Some methods were renamed slightly
(ex. setXAxisBulletsColor (Color) became setXAxisTicksColor (Color)).
1.9.0g (2001 December 16):
-Fixed bug in graph charts sizing logic. Preferred size now more accurate.
-Added logic for specifying the amount of overlap of components for charts with
multiple data values per category and per set. New methods are:
GraphProperties.setGraphBarsWithinCategoryOverlapRatio (float),
GraphProperties.setGraphDotsWithinCategoryOverlapRatio (float), and
GraphProperties.setGraphLinesWithinCategoryOverlapRatio (float).
-Added logic for specifying how much of any leftover graph space should be fed
back to dots and lines thicknesses. Now, logic matches that for bar feedback.
Use GraphProperties.setGraphBarsExcessSpaceFeedbackRatio (float).
Use GraphProperties.setGraphDotsExcessSpaceFeedbackRatio (float).
Use GraphProperties.setGraphLinesExcessSpaceFeedbackRatio (float).
-Improved logic for pie labels lines. Thick lines are smoother.
-Fixed bug in GraphProperties. GraphProperties can now be used for multiple
charts.
-Fixed bug in preferred size logic of LLChart2D.
-No API Change: Compatible with 1.9.0f.
1.9.0f (2001 December 10):
-Moved logic of the setCustomPreferredSize() method into the setPreferredSize()
method. Using setPreferredSize() will cause all preferred size calculations
to be bypassed, until the pack() method is called.
-Added logic for setMinimumSize(). The minimum size will bound the preferred
size at the "bottom" similar to setMaximumSize() bounding the preferred size at
the "top".
-Removed Chart2DProperties.setCustomMinPrefSize(). That would have been
duplicate logic, since now this can be specified in the *Chart2D classes.
-Some API Change: Not totally compatible with 1.9.0e.
-Change calls of Chart2DProperties.setCustomMinPrefSize() to calls of
*Chart2D.setMinimumSize().
-Change calls of *Chart2D.setCustomPreferredSize() to calls of
*Chart2D.setPreferredSize().
1.9.0e (2001 December 9):
-Added logic that allows for faster start up time of GUI's with multiple charts,
where at least one of them is hidden (ex. charts added to a JTabbedPane). See
MultipleChart2DFrameDemo for an example of how to take advantage of this logic.
-Added a method, setCustomPreferredSize (boolean, Dimension) for scenarios where
multiple charts are being created, they all have equal initial sizes, and they
are allowed to magnify. Use the method to make the preffered sizes of charts
the initial size so that all the charts won't be magnified at the initial size.
-No API Change: Compatible with 1.9.0d.
1.9.0d (2001 December 5):
-Fixed more problems with graph components due to trying to keep components
from overlapping. They look better when they are allowed to overlap.
To keep components from overlapping, reduce their thickness models manually.
-Fixed problem with some GraphProperties constants not being accessible/public.
-No API Change: Compatible with 1.9.0c.
1.9.0c (2001 December 4):
-Fixed a problem with stacked bar charts overlapping eachother. Added a method
for specifying how much of the extra space in a graph should be fedback to
the bars. The default is for 75% of the space to be fedback to the bars.
-Improved the look of the labeling of pie charts. Added one method.
-No API Change: Compatible with 1.9.0b.
1.9.0b (2001 December 1):
-Gap between chart and legend now specifiable from the Chart2DProperties
class. See the setChartBetweenChartAndLegendGap*(*) methods.
-No API Change: Compatible with 1.9.0a.
1.9.0a (2001 November 30):
-Bug fixes for extreme cases (i.e. charts with no data).
-Better bar charts. Unused space on the graph can be fed back to the bar.
The new method for adjusting the amount of feedback is:
GraphProperties.setGraphBarsExcessSpaceFeedbackRatio (float).
The default is to feedback .75f * the amount of space to the bars, the
rest will remain as unused graph space between bars.
-Better pie charts. The preferred size is more accurate now.
-No API Change: Compatible with 1.9.0.
1.9.0 (2001 November 28):
-Beginning transition to new model for configuring charts. (More on this below)
-Added ability for charts to have multiple GraphArea classes Before, each set
of data could only be graphed by the same components. Now, one can add
multiple data sets to the chart, and with each data set, one can add a new
graph area specifying what components to graph the data (i.e. bars, lines,
dots...). See the LLChart2DFrameDemo or the tutorial for more information.
-Changed some code in TextArea to make it compute the smallest bounds of a label
faster.
-Changes some code that computes the preferred sizes of the charts. Preferred
sizes should now be more accurate.
-Added ability to specify the color of the outline of graph components.
-Added ability to set the minimum preferred size of the *ChartArea. This is
useful because the layout of Chart2D is so good, the charts don't need enough
room... Setting the custom minimum preferred size, the Chart will be at least
as big as you want.
-API Change: The old Chart2D API is no more. The properties of the charts
are now in seperate classes than the charts themselves. This way multiple
charts can be configured/and changed via a single properties class. This new
API is under development and may still see significant chagnes. To configure
charts now, you create a Chart2DProperties class, then configure either a
PieChart2DProperties class or a GraphChart2DProperties class (depending on the
kind of chart that you want) then pass that last configured class to either
a PieChart2D, LBChart2D, or LLChart2D class depending on what kind of chart
you want. As before, you then either add the chart2d to a content pane of
a GUI or call getImage.
1.8.3 (2001 November 19):
-Bug fix for data sets with floating point labels.
-No API Change.
