12 <dt>2015-11-02: PyX 0.14.1 released</dt>
14 PyX source distribution is now hosted on PyPI. We also uploaded all
15 old releases to PyPI. At the same time we removed the downloads from
16 sourceforge. A few bug fixes are also included in this release.
18 <dt>2015-04-30: PyX 0.14 released</dt>
20 This version adds SVG (Scaleable Vector Graphics) as an output format
21 to PyX. SVG can also be read to include it unchanged to into the SVG
22 output. In addition, even though with quite some limitations, SVG can
23 be read, parsed, and then represented on the PyX graphics level. Here
24 it can be modified and output not just to SVG, but also to the other
25 output formats. Various improvements and bug fixes complete this
28 <dt>2013-12-20: PyX 0.13 released</dt>
30 PyX has been ported to Python 3. It now requires Python 3.2 and above.
31 Python 2 users should continue to use the previous PyX releases. Along
32 with the port the text module was modernized and got a new
33 documentation. In addition, the normpath now removes cusps from
34 normcurves by spliting the curves on instability points such that
35 tangents etc. are always well-defined. Various improvements and bug
36 fixes complete this release.
38 <dt>2012-10-26: PyX 0.12.1 released</dt>
40 This release fixes drawing bugs in the gradient style for the recently
43 <dt>2012-10-17: PyX 0.12 released</dt>
45 This release adds a density graph style to create density plots. The color
46 scale is shown by a separate key graph. The key graph feature has been
47 integrated in existing styles where appropriate, like the 3d surface style.
48 A rather large set of other additions and bug fixes all over the place
49 completes this release.
51 <dt>2011-05-20: PyX 0.11.1 released</dt>
53 This release fixes a few bugs, most importantly the extension build process.
54 The manual has been been ported to <a href="http://sphinx.pocoo.org/">Sphinx</a>.
56 <dt>2011-05-15: PyX 0.11 released</dt>
58 This release contains a major reorganization of the text output code.
59 Transparency in bitmaps is now supported and limited functionality of the bar
60 style is available in 3d graphs. Various bugs have been fixed and there are
61 small improvements all over the place.
63 <dt>2007-10-03: PyX 0.10 released</dt>
65 This release adds 3d plotting facilities to PyX using parallel or central
66 projection. Two new graph styles grids and surfaces can be used in 3d
67 graphs as well as some existing generic graph styles (symbols, lines,
68 errorbars etc.). Several new examples, various other improvements
69 requested by PyX users and some bugfixes complete this release.
71 <dt>2006-09-14: Talk about Type1 fonts and PyX in Rosenheim</dt>
73 A talk about Type1 fonts and PyX was presented at the
74 <a href="http://www.dante.de/dante/events/mv35/">fall meeting</a> of the <a href="http://www.dante.de/dante/events/mv35/">German Speaking TeX User Group DANTE e.V.</a> (September 14th and 15th, Rosenheim).
75 The presentation is available in
76 <a href="presentation_dantemv35_de.pdf">German (pdf, 19 pages, 226 KB)</a> and
77 in a crude <a href="presentation_dantemv35_en.pdf">english translation</a>.
79 <dt>2006-09-11: First public version of PyXPlot released</dt>
81 Dominic Ford released the first public version of <a
82 href="http://www.pyxplot.org.uk/">PyXPlot</a>, which provides a
83 Gnuplot-style interface to PyX. PyXPlot already supports a large subset
84 of Gnuplot's original functionality, always combined with the
85 high-quality output of PyX.
87 <dt>2006-05-24: PyX 0.9 released</dt>
89 This release features a new set of deformers for path manipulations
90 like smoothing, shifting, etc. A new set of extensively documented
91 examples describing various aspects of PyX in a cookbook-like fashion
92 have been written. Type 1 font-stripping is now handled by a newly
93 written Python module. The evaluation of functions for graph plotting
94 is now left to Python. Thereby some obscure data manipulation could be
95 removed from the bar style for handling of nested bar graphs.
96 Transparency is now supported for PDF output. Many more small
97 improvements and bug fixes top off this release.
99 <dt>2006-01-20: New PyX tutorial for Gnuplot users</dt>
101 Titus Winters wrote a very nice <a href="http://www.cs.ucr.edu/~titus/pyxTutorial/">tutorial</a>
102 explaining the basics of PyX's graph-plotting facilities for users familiar with Gnuplot.
104 <dt>2005-08-13: PyX 0.8.1 released</dt>
106 This release fixes some bugs in the path module and the output of decorated
107 paths. The fallback for kpathsea was considerably improved in speed (it was
108 unintensionally slowed down in 0.8). The inclusion of the bounding box
109 information in PS and PDF files is now optional. It is suppressed by default
110 when a paperformat is specified. A new path example completes the release.
112 <dt>2005-07-13: PyX 0.8 released</dt>
114 PyX now supports PDF output and also the generation of multi-page PS/PDF
115 documents. The internals of the path system have been cleaned up and the
116 external interface has been streamlined. The axis data handling of the graph
117 component has undergone a major revision. Many other improvements and bug fixes
118 are included in this release.
120 <dt>2004-12-15: PyX 0.7.1 released</dt>
122 This release fixes some bugs in the graph system, the canvas module and
123 the kpsewhich support. The tipa package is no longer required to build
124 the FAQ. The index files to sort the examples are now included in the
125 distribution. Two new examples complete this maintenance release.
127 <dt>2004-10-29: PyX presentation in Hannover</dt>
129 PyX was presented at the
130 <a href="http://www.dante.de/dante/events/mv31/">fall meeting of the German Speaking TeX User Group DANTE e.V. (October 29nd to 30th, Hannover)</a>.
131 The presentation is available in
132 <a href="presentation_dantemv31_de.pdf">German (pdf, 16 Pages, 346 KB)</a> only.
134 <dt>2004-10-21: PyX 0.7 released</dt>
136 This release adds support for the inclusion of bitmaps. The internals of the path system
137 have undergone a major revision and cleanup. The handling of short
138 path elements has been enhanced considerably to prevent numerical
139 instabilities. The data and style handling in the graph system has been
140 completely reorganized. It is now possible to combine several graph
141 styles within a single plot instruction.
143 <dt>2004-04-27: PyX 0.6.3 released</dt>
145 PyX 0.6.3 contains a few bug fixes and includes the source for the FAQ
146 and the manual as requested by a package maintainer.
148 <dt>2004-04-07: PyX 0.6.2 released</dt>
150 PyX 0.6.2 fixes a few bugs in the graph system.
152 <dt>2004-03-31: PyX 0.6.1 released</dt>
154 PyX 0.6.1 fixes a brown paper bag bug in the distribtion which missed
155 to contain the new directories for the graph and the axis system.
157 <dt>2004-03-30: PyX 0.6 released</dt>
159 This release further improves the internal design and visible interfaces
160 of PyX. The path system has undergone a major revision and cleanup.
161 The graph module has been split into several smaller modules,
162 reflecting its component architecture. Moreover, PyX now makes use of
163 the attribute system introduced in the previous release. Graph styles
164 and data handling have been largely revised. Major parts of the
165 documentation have been rewritten and are now based on the standard
166 Python documentation style. Bug-fixes and speed improvements complete

186 virtual fonts has been added. Markers allow the gathering of
187 positions within the text. TeX's inter-process-communication option
188 can be used to speed up the TeX interface. The install process has
189 been streamlined. Lots of other small improvements and bugfixes were
