veusz Documentation

Some Fossies usage hints in advance:

  1. To see the Doxygen generated documentation please click on one of the items in the steelblue colored "quick index" bar above or use the side panel at the left which displays a hierarchical tree-like index structure and is adjustable in width.
  2. If you want to search for something by keyword rather than browse for it you can use the client side search facility (using Javascript and DHTML) that provides live searching, i.e. the search results are presented and adapted as you type in the Search input field at the top right.
  3. Doxygen doesn't incorporate all member files but just a definable subset (basically the main project source code files that are written in a supported language). So to search and browse all member files you may visit the Fossies veusz-3.6.2.tar.gz contents page and use the Fossies standard member browsing features (also with source code highlighting and additionally with optional code folding).

Veusz 3.6.2

Veusz is a scientific plotting package. It is designed to produce publication-ready PDF or SVG output. Graphs are built-up by combining plotting widgets. The user interface aims to be simple, consistent and powerful.

Veusz provides GUI, Python module, command line, scripting, DBUS and SAMP interfaces to its plotting facilities. It also allows for manipulation and editing of datasets. Data can be captured from external sources such as Internet sockets or other programs.

  • Fix broken resource symlink handling

Changes in 3.6.1:

  • Fix appdata file
  • Fix issue in setup.cfg

Changes in 3.6:

  • Interactive rotation of 3D plots
  • Add 12-bit rainbow colormap
  • Fix crash in contour key values
  • Fix breakage with recent numpy versions due to removal of bool
  • Fix error in colormap sequence
  • About dialog shows software versions
  • Rewrite install instructions in INSTALL.md
  • Fix for Python 3.11 due to opening with universal newlines
  • Remove use of distutils
  • Fix MacOS binary
