1.2 What is new ?

Now you just have installed the new version of KUPLOT and the question is what are the new features ? The main difference is that the program uses the PGPLOT rather than its own plotting routines. This change allowed the integration of some 'mouse' driven functions that can be accessed using the new command mouse. Additionally the program now allows one to use special commands controlling the appearence of text, e.g. sub- and superscript or using the Å character (see chapter 2).

Other new features include the import scans from SPEC (X-ray data collection software by CSC, Chicago) files (see 2.1) and new data analysis and manipulation commands (see 7). A new feature of the command language is the interaction with files using the commands 'fget' and 'fput' (see 6). The command itself can now be preceeded by spaces thus allowing one to indent e.g. loops or if blocks.

For a complete list of changes refer to the file 'CHANGES.LOG' which can be found in the kuplot/prog directory of the distribution.
