What's new in Mondrian 1.2
Mar 31, 2011
- The scatterplotsmoother now includes "principle curves", which are one of the nonlinear generalizations of principal components. All smoothers can be plotted for subgroups, which have a color assigned, "smoother by colors".
- The color scheme has been refined once again, to make use of colors as efficiently as possible. The use of alpha-transparency is now consistent between scatterplots and parallel coordinate plots.
- New Transformations: columnwise minimum and maximum. Sorting of levels is now stable, i.e. levels which have the same value for an ordering criterion will keep their previous order.
- The Reference Card speaks Windows now, i.e., Windows users no longer need to translate keyboard shortcuts from the Mac world.
- Filed bugs fixed since last release: 19, 64, 82, 104, 150, 153, 155, 160, 161, 185, 186)
- The web page has been reworked and several issues have been fixed:
- A new section with a Quickstart Guide
- The order of the plot types now reflects their complexity.
- Technical implementation details are now given where appropriate
- The Map Library has been opened and we hope for many contributions
- The slides which go with the book "Interactive Graphics for Data Analysis – Principles and Examples" can now be found on the web.
- They should be a fruitful resource for everybody who wants to learn how to use Mondrian.
