GLE Description

Graphics Layout Engine / Professional Graphics Language GLE (Graphics Layout Engine) is a graphics scripting language designed for creating publication quality graphs, plots, diagrams, figures and slides. GLE supports various graph types (function plots, histograms, bar graphs, scatter plots, contour lines, color maps, surface plots, ...) through a simple but flexible set of graphing commands. More complex output can be created by relying on GLE's scripting language, which is full featured with subroutines, variables, and logic control. GLE relies on LaTeX for text output and supports mathematical formulea in graphs and figures. GLE's output formats include EPS, PDF, JPEG, PS, and PNG.NOTE: Detailed instructions on how to install GLE by compiling and installing the source code on your Mac can be found here: http://www.gle-graphics.org/downloads/mac.html. What's New in This Release: New Features: · Added "from/to/step" options to "values" command of "contour" block. · Number of available datasets increased from 100 to 1000 (patch by Laurence Abbott). · Added "reload" button to QGLE. · Added "key off" to turn off the key of a graph block (Feature #2781887). · Added "ylabels align left" to align all labels left (right is the default). · Added support for FreeBSD (Bug #2786222). · Added support for --docdir configure option. · Changed package name to "gle-graphics" and distribute GLE's source code as .tar.gz. · Moved plotter fonts to a separate package (./configure --with-extrafonts=yes to enable these). · Added license information to all files where this can be done easily. · Replaced font metrics files for core PostScript fonts with a set that is freely available from Adobe. · Manual can now be compressed and installed as "gle-manual.pdf.gz". · Configure script checks for "qmake-qt4" before checking for "qmake". Bug Fixes: · Arrowhead not drawn correctly when using dashed line (#2838971). · Fixed problem in TeX macro substitution (#2838978). · Curve with zero distance control points should be straight line #2838965). · Added support for operations on arbitrary length strings. · More commands are now allowed to come before the "size" command (e.g., bitmap_info). · Improved routine for determining axis tick labels. · Fixed QGLE crash on key block error (e.g., entry with no text). · QGLE no longer crashes when "Save As" is selected while an EPS (not GLE) file is loaded. · QGLE fix for the case that a "recent file" is opened that no longer exists. · Fixed crash in "postscript" include command if bounding box is at the end of the EPS. · The "clean" target now removes all files generated by "make". · A "distclean" target has been added to also remove all files generated by "./configure". · Replaced calls to "make" with "$(MAKE)" to handle the case that GNU make is "gmake". · Added range checks for "from" "to" and "step" for the "letz" and "fitz" blocks.
