package.
Summary description: Create normal/logarithmic plots in two and three dimensions for LaTeX.
License type: gpl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
1.6.1:
- fixed incompatibility lualatex,shader=interp, and german package (introduced in 1.6)
1.6:
- added support for layered graphics (main use case: multiple axes and layers)
- added support for second colormap in mesh plots (mesh/interior colormap name)
- added support for scopes inside of axes
- contour plots: added ability to provide list of discrete labels (mesh/levels)
- empty lines are interpreted as interruptions in data plots (was undocumented since 1.4)
- added more scaling options to 'scale mode=scale uniformly' (affects axis equal in 3d
and addplot3 graphics)
- fixed wrong implementation of 'axis equal' and 'unit vector ratio' in 3d
(backwards compatible for 2d, but not for 3d - the 3d implementation was plain wrong)
- fixed incompatibility of lualatex and shader=interp
- fixed bugs/added features around addplot3 graphics
- fixed bug: colorbar did not support ymode=log
- fixed a couple of minor bugs
- fixed bounding box computation for clip=false,axis lines=none
