  • Bugfix: Use of Close menu command on a map window did not initiaite clean-up of memory used by window.
  • (Mac) Switched to Quaqua open/save file chooser with option to specify file format.
  • Allow for user-specified map border weight, up to twice as heavy as max graticule or continent outline weight.
  • Bugfix: XY->LL translation in Vertical Perspective could throw NaN error for some combinations of radius parameter and projection centering.
  • PS/PDF output and printing always use variable weight line strokes rather than optional semi-transparent fixed-weight strokes.

New in G.Projector 1.2.2 (Jun 5, 2009)

  • Bugfix: Lack of localization prevented use of comma as decimal separator.

New in G.Projector 1.2.1 (Jun 5, 2009)

  • Re-factored autoscale method for all projections to provide cleaner extensibility from AbstractProjection.
  • Re-factored some projections' transformation code in conjunction with documentation project.
  • Added Braun Stereographic projection (#84).
  • Added Braun Perspective projection (#85).
  • Bugfix: Bonne projection reported lon-lat values for some pixels outside of map area.

New in G.Projector 1.2 (Dec 20, 2008)

  • Separate projection for Interrupted form of Goode Homolosine (was #84) removed.
  • Choice of uninterrupted vs. interrupted format (and type of interruption) made a user-specifiable option for twelve pseudocylindric projections, including Goode Homolosine; McBryde P3, Q3, S2 and S3; Mollweide; Boggs Eumorphic; Sinusoidal; and McBryde-Thomas Flat-Polar Parabolic, Quartic, and Sinusoidal projections.

New in G.Projector 1.1.4 (Nov 22, 2008)

  • Sped up reading in text outline overlay file data.
  • Sped up reading in of larger input map image files for several image types.
  • Bugfix: Canters Polyconic 1989-f9 projection reported lon-lat values for outside-of-map areas within arc of pole curves.
  • Simplified grid-drawing for pseudocylindrics.
  • Added Interrupted form of Goode Homolosine projection as a separate projection (#84).
  • Bugfix: Gridlines not drawn anti-aliased on some platforms/JRE combinations.
  • Mac and Windows versions configured to request more memory from system, which should alleviate problems dealing with large input map images (e.g., 5400×2700 Blue Marbles).

New in G.Projector 1.1.3 (Aug 6, 2008)

  • Added "fill corners" option to azimuthal equal-area, azimuthal equidistant and stereographc projections.
  • Linux version uses default "metal" look-and-feel.

New in G.Projector 1.1.2 (Mar 8, 2008)

  • Added Nell projection (#81).
  • Added Fahey projection (#82).
  • Added Bonne projection (#83).
