June 10th, 2008· Tangle Calculator (30 Nov 05)
· A complete set of Conway polyhedra are now included, see the help page on the tangle calculator control panel.
· Celtic Knotting (26 Oct 05)
· This feature has been available in a hidden form for a long time (over a year), but now it is directly available off of the Sketch panel. Also included are a few example Celtic knot grids.
· TopoICE (26 Oct 05)
· The Topological Interactive Construction Engine (TopoICE) has also been available for some time, but a new and updated version is now included. See below for more information and user manuals.
· KnotPlot Help (26 Oct 05)
· The KnotPlot `help' button finally does something useful! Well, possibly, maybe. Hope it helps!
· Rollers & Sliders (18 Aug 05)
· Rollers now replace sliders in most cases. There are still some issues with rolling outside the useful range, and possibly maybe with some rollers being either too sensitive or not sensitive enough.
· Double clicking on any value field (middle section) of any slider or roller will allow you to enter a value directly. The field should turn white and show a cursor. Double clicking on the label field of any slider or roller resets the slider to its initial value.
· Beads & Points (18 Aug 05)
· The "Beads & Sticks" button on Main has been renamed to "beads & cyls" to be consistent with other usage. Also on Main, you can now select beads to be displayed in cheapo mode (beads) or luxo mode (Beads). Beads can also be display in super cheapo mode (points).
· Point mode is helpful if you have something that has thousands or tens of thousands of beads. Try the AD demo on DemoB to see an example (20,000 beads).
· Surface Properties (18 Aug 05)
· KnotPlot has always had a confusing method for colouring components. Hopefully, this will be less confusing with the new Surf panel.
· These features have long been available for smooth tubes, but not for cylinders. Now setting cylinder colouring mode to auto allows individual components in cylinder mode to be coloured differently.
· Zoo Labels (18 Aug 05)
· Zoo labels are now shown by default. It's not a fancy label and will some day be improved. Please let me know if they don't appear (they don't on at least one MacOSX machine, possibly maybe due to an OpenGL driver problem).
· Anaglyph Stereo (18 Aug 05)
· Anaglyph stereo now works for most KnotPlot functions and interaction modes, including most of the demos on the DemoA and DemoB panel. Also, most of the Never ending exhibitions on the DemoA panel will run in anaglyph stereo mode.
· To enable anaglyph stereo, either use one of the buttons on the DemoB panel, or use the button on the Disp panel.
· Some demos which use frame buffer tricks (knot painting for example) do not work properly in this display mode.
