  • An overhaul of the plotting backend.
    • Magic2 uses the matplotlib view stack correctly now, meaning that you can use the buttons at the bottom of the graph to go home and go backwards and forwards in view history.
    • The rendering should also be less jittery now, with a more consistent figure size.
    • Attempting to save the graph from matplotlib produces a warning encouraging the use of Magic2's export function.
    • Refresh timings were updated, so zoom is conserved without blinking when switching between modes. Lineouts also appear instantly (a half-second delay was present when switching to fringe modes previously).
    • Changed the deprecated toolbar (this was producing a console warning every time Magic2 launched).
    • Removed the adjust subplots toolbar button, which was confusing and not useful.
  • Labelling doesn't crash when started outside of the picture.
  • Fixes to the lineout system.
    • Better focus management, the graph should now always stay focused in the layout window.
    • Lineouts respect the plasma density map centre setting now.
    • The width of the lineout and displaying the bounding box settings cannot be changed when in a mode different to the one in which the lineout was taken. This is to avoid errors and confusion.
  • A README.md overhaul. It contains useful information now, including more technical instructions.
  • Updates to the manual. More info included, and the font switched to Arial for more pleasant reading.
  • Gridlines work in fringe modes. You can add gridlines by pressing g with your mouse over a given graph. This now works when displaying fringes (was clashing with the line animation function).
  • Right click to compute works in all cases, even if not in a plasma or background mode.
  • Memory management fix. Slightly less RAM should be used now.
  • Colormap reference available at a click of a button when changing the colormap.
  • The first ever Magic2 Easter egg!
