What’s New in UniPlot 3.6.0

This page describes the changes made to UniPlot 3.6.0 since version 3.5.2.

New Features

• New functions to edit SQLite databases (see sqlite_open). SQLite is a public domain SQL database embedded into UniPlot. More information about SQLite can be found under http://www.sqlite.org.

• The DialogBox function has been extended by a new “Auto-complete combo box”.

  The Auto-complete combo box box makes it easy to select an item if the list contains a big number of items. To search for an item, type the name. The list box will display all items that match the text typed. If there is no match you cannot leave the combo box. This is indicated by a message beep.

• NC_Edit: The global NC attributes will now be displayed in the data grid.

Bug Fixes

The following bugs have been fixed:

• The environment variable PATHEXT has been corrupted from the UniPlot setup program under certain Windows NT 4.0 versions.

  To fix this problem open the control panel and set the system variable PATHEXT to ".COM;.EXE;.CMD;.BAT;.ICE".

• The printf function had an error:

  ssVal = "123456789-123456789-123456789-";
  printf("\n%s", ssVal);
  printf("\n%20.10s", ssVal);
  printf("\n%s\n", ssVal);
  

  The second printf call changed the parameter ssVal. This error has been fixed.

• Formula-Interpreter: In UniPlot 3.5.2 formulas could only be added to the active NC file through the Formula dialog box. Formulas could not be updated with the F9 hot key. This error has been fixed.

• xBase Import Filter: In the xBase (dBase IV) filter a bug has been fixed. Under UniPlot 3.5.2 converted files contained only missing values.
