1.3.1 brings more improvements

Wednesday, January 9th, 2013

The latest version brings lots of small improvements and one useful new feature – the ability to use sum as an option for charting e.g. a line chart showing total sales by country:

New sum option

Here is the full list of improvements:

  • Adding sum as an option for charting e.g. a line chart showing total income per month by product. And the interface has been simplified at the same time.
  • Matplotlib scatterplots now have optimal min and max settings calculated for their x-axis.
  • Added footnote to Wilcoxon output explaining that different statistics packages may report the test statistic differently.
  • Misc fixes to chart layout including left margin offset.
  • Easier to add new variable definition files from within dialog for choosing them.
  • Modified recode column labels and help content to reduce confusion about which columns to enter range information into.

And bug fixes:

  • Fixed code picking optimal min and max axis values for scatterplots and box plots to cope when value range is much smaller than gap to 0.
  • CSV import now copes with new lines inside fields when gathering data for sample display.
  • Extra settings for Line Charts now display when they should even if only changing data type.
  • Fixed bug which allowed line breaks in field names.
