BIGGLES 1.6.4

[ what's new : documentation : download : install *nix : install win32 ]

• Phil Kromer contributed the new ColoredPoints and Density components. See example9.py for details.
• Todd Fox contributed Makefiles for building with MS Visual C++.
• Can now specify the width/height of postscript output, by passing (e.g.) width="5in" or height="10in" to the functions which produce postscript output. Default values are in the [postscript] section of config.ini. The old [printer]/paper option is now [postscript]/paper.
• Added UpperLimits, LowerLimits components. These produce symbols with half-arrows indicating the true value is below/above the point.
• Added TeX codes \`,\',\^,\",\~ for character accents.

Browsing through the examples is probably the best way to get started.
