Schema Version 16

Post date: Jul 18, 2014 8:05:18 PM

Applicable to: DataNav version 4.5.2 (August 2014)  through -- 4.6.0 (07 Jan 2015)

• • Introduced support for transparent (NOT translucent) colors. Three of the four RGBColor attributes in FypML (fillColor, strokeColor, bkg; but not cmapnan) now can take the value "none", which corresponds to fully transparent black. The primary motivation for this change was to provide an intuitive way to define hollow shapes or data point marker symbols.

  • With the introduction of a transparent fill color, there was no longer a need for the boolean filled attribute, defined on the trace and raster nodes. The same effects can be achieved by setting fillColor = "none" on the node itself (or, for a trace in errorband display mode, on its ebar child). Indeed, this is exactly what is done to migrate existing figures to this schema version.

  • Introduced optional attribute lineHt on textbox, axis, and zaxis elements. This float-valued attribute specifies the line height (baseline to baseline) for multi-line text layout as a fraction of the element's font size. It is restricted to the range [0.8, 3.0] and has a default value of 1.2. Authors can use this attribute to adjust the line spacing in multi-line text boxes or axis labels.
