| New Features in DeltaGraph 6.0.8 |
|
- Fixed a problem with currency formatting – groupings were not correct.
- Fixed a conflict with some menu item numbers.
- Changed the behavior in the Canvas Size dialog – application now does not force multiple canvas pages in order to display all canvas elements. User has the option of setting multiples, although a warning will be posted if any elements will be left off of the canvas. Also, canvas multiples are no longer automatically generated when a file is opened.
- Integrated libHaru PDF library for PDF generation. This change provides correct 3D chart label rotations as well as better general PDF quality. See the Limitations section for more details.
- Fixed a problem with printing text areas, text was drawn at the incorrect scale.
- Added the ability to adjust the gap between legend text and legend symbols. See Legend dialog.
- Fixed a problem with super/sub scripts which caused them to have too much space separating them from normal text.
- Fixed a problem which caused some exports to have incorrectly sized text.
- Fixed a problem which caused some 3D charts to have missing tick lines on some axes.
- Added a warning for PDF exports when one of the fonts in use cannot be exported to PDF because it does not contain the required character set(s). On-screen drawing utilizes font substitution to avoid this.
- Fixed a problem with showing/hiding legend controls.
- Fixed a problem with drawing of background thumbnails for Apply Backgrounds… dialog.
- Fixed a problem with axis controls for 3D scatter & scatterline charts – X & Y axis controls were swapped.
- Fixed a problem with Table charts – cells which contained single characters were not rendered properly.
- Changed the line join for line charts to generate smoother lines. This problem was noticeable with very wide lines or at high resolution.
- Added support to draw glyph outlines, both onscreen and in EPS exports, to support non-TrueType fonts, eg Taz font.
- For EPS exports, added a warning for non-TrueType fonts. User can decide to cancel the export or continue with glyph outline drawing of text. See the Limitations section for more details.
- Raster image exports now have the image resolution set in the file.
- Raster images can now be exported at 600 & 1200 ppi.

- Improved overall I/O performance.
- Fixed a problem which prevented dynamic licenses from being properly released at application shut down.
- Fixed a problem with text shadows.
- Fixed several problems with drawing of symbols palettes – DeltaSymbol font symbols and built-in symbols were not the same size.
- Implemented a workaround for files in which the tick information has been damaged. Formerly these files would not open or crashed as soon as the affected charts were edited.
- Fixed a problem which caused negative minimum axis values to be incorrectly read from the file.
- Improved font handling, especially for CJK fonts.
- Improved layout edit view to provide feedback for the canvas size and zoom factor.
- Modified the DeltaSymbol font to match the built-in symbols. The font had four missing symbols.

- Fixed a problem which could cause the application to crash when editing layouts and then clicking in the canvas window.
-
Fixed a problem which resulted in extremely slow rendering of ellipses on Windows 7 with Aero turned on. This problem was most apparent when elliptical, built-in symbols were used in a scatter plot.
