1.2. Changelog Versions 3.x#

1.2.1. Version 3.2.1 (2019-06-12)#

1.2.1.1. itom#

  • install / upgrade dialog of python package manager can now store the current settings during one itom session. This simplifies the installation of several packages.

  • due to upcoming support for OpenCV 4, a check for the deprecated CV_USRTYPE1 type of cv::DataType has been removed. This check was responsible to reject the unsupported datatype uint32. Now this check has been implemented again in the create methods for ito::DataObject.

  • improvements of std::cout, std::cerr (as well as python print commands) to avoid deadlocks or crashes when printing thousands of lines within a very short time: inserted small delays to avoid buffer overflows.

  • menu action “no available figures” set to disabled (like other similar actions)

  • documentation added about how to build itom under CentOS / linux added

1.2.1.2. Plugins#

  • MSMediaFoundation: major improvements concerning necessary CPU consumption (tiny sleeps inserted in while(1) loops)

  • GenICam: there exists devices which cannot report the real access state. Instead they report changed the accessStatus DEVICE_ACCESS_STATUS_UNKNOWN. If this is the case, the plugin assumes a read/write access state and tries to open this device though.

  • GenICam: Start to support color cameras with the exemplary YCbCr422_8 encoding (tested with Basler puA1280-54uc)

  • FittingFilters: small bug-fix in method fillInvalidAreas

1.2.1.3. Designer Plugins#

  • itom2dqwtplot: improved positioning of child figures if their preferred position exceeds the geometry of the screen where the parent plot is located.

1.2.2. Version 3.2.0 (2019-04-07)#

1.2.2.1. itom#

(more than 440 commits in itom repository)

  • increased interface from 3.2.0 to 3.3.0

  • complete rework of the script editor and the console. The previously used 3rd party component QScintilla has been removed and replaced by a new code editor component. This component is inspired by and ported from the Python editor project PyQode (pyQode/pyQode, MIT license). It has the following main features:

    • syntax highlighting of Python code

    • code folding

    • auto indentation

    • dynamic auto completion and calltips (requires the optional Python package jedi) with the ability to also parse user-defined Python scripts or other packages and modules

    • goto definition and assignment of any python method, function, variable or class (also requires the optional Python package jedi)

    • on the fly code checkers (requires the optional Python packages pyflakes or frosted [legacy])

    • most features of the previous editor component have been preserved

  • new matplotlib backend (itom-packages/mpl_itom): The backend is now compatible with Matplotlib 1.x (legacy), 2.x and 3.x. The user can now change the properties of axes, lines or images via a specific setting dialog.

  • improved dark style sheet (itom/styles/stylesheets/darkStyle)

  • user management: improved documentation, bugfixes and improvements of the user management dialog and better classification of itom features with respect to the appropriate user roles.

  • improved documentation, especially the sections about the code editor, the property dialog as well as the user management

  • wrap more public methods of important Qt widgets, such that they are accessible by the itom.uiItem.call() method. See: Calling slots.

  • added or changed demo scripts to the demo folder (e.g. demoDummyMotor.py, cloudDemo.py, demoContourLines2dPlot.py, listWidgetDemo.py)

  • itom.uiItem.connect(), itom.dataIO.connect(), itom.actuator.connect() have an additional optional argument ‘minRepeatInterval’. If given (in ms), a python slot is not called more often than this timeout interval. All intermediate calls are blocked.

  • point cloud library: replaced deprecated pcl_isnan, pcl_isfinite by std::isnan / std::isfinite

  • auto column-size adjustment of docked help widget has been removed (fixes issue #77)

  • attributes currentPositions and targetPositions added (read-only): They can be used to always obtain the latest reported axes positions of an actuator, even if the actuator plugin is currently executing any method in its own thread.

  • avoid deadlock between GUI and python if many plots are closed via the menu or itom.close()

  • dependency check added to pipManager; update button is always enabled, independent if an update is pretended to be available or not

  • dialogIconBrowser: bigger icon size for high dpi screens

  • package manager and about dialog can be maximized; context menu of table in package manager added to export installed packages to csv file or clipboard

  • adapted and improved itom about dialog and license information

  • limit the increased recursionlimit (set by jedi) to a lower limit (1600), in order to avoid itom crashes (MSVC built), for example if used together with pandas package.

  • improvements of message, shown if a displayed script was externally changed or removed. Distinguish between both cases.

  • added new methods itom.dataIO.connect() and itom.actuator.connect(), to connect plugin’s signals to python methods (like the existing method itom.uiItem.connect()).

  • also added the new methods itom.dataIO.disconnect() and itom.actuator.disconnect()

  • With respect to the method itom.uiItem.info(), also added the methods itom.dataIO.info() and itom.actuator.info().

  • linux bugfix: workaround for bug in CentOS when waiting for semaphore without timeout value.

  • added itom.dataIO.getExecFuncsList() and itom.actuator.getExecFuncsList() to print a list of available exec-functions of a specific plugin instance to the console.

  • added first version of chinese translation

  • proper display of long long values in workspace

  • pip settings of dialog pip manager are now saved and restored to or from settings file

  • for Qt >= 5.12, qcollectiongenerator has been merged into the qhelpgenerator, which now accepts both .qhp and .qhcp files as input and generates .qch and .qhc files, respectively.

  • make python calls more robust by also catching all exceptions. This is mainly good to also try to catch stack overflow exceptions (not always possible)

  • workspace can now keep track of attributes of a type object which are created by a __slots__ definition

  • editor styles property page: default folder of import and export dialog is the styles/editorThemes folder

  • fixes some memory leaks, induced by non-decremented PyObject objects

  • update of autoreload.py (based on ipython/ipython).

  • info messages are shown if syntax check, auto completion, calltips or ‘goto definition’ is enabled in properties but pyflakes, frosted+pies or jedi+parso are not available

  • itom.dataObject.dstack() (ito::DataObject::dstack) always returns a dataObject with a higher number of dimensions. (issue #79)

  • performance improvements in console widget, if a lot of text should be printed: added an internal intermediate buffer, wrap long lines (optional) into several lines, each starting with ....

  • added actuator error and endswitch[no] flags

  • python syntax highlighting is now disabled for stream (out and err) output in command line. There is a special style type for these stream outputs (see editor style properties)

  • ito::actuator::getStatus(int axis) introduced to obtain the status of one single axis

  • The python package pyflakes is now supported, together with the depcreated package frosted to provide syntax checks of scripts.

  • dialogReplace: fix layout for high dpi screens

  • Added attributes itom.dataObject.real and itom.dataObject.imag to get and set real or imaginary part of complex dataObject. The former methods dataObject.real() and dataObject.imag() have been removed in favour of the new attributes.

  • scriptDockWidget: avoid unwanted regression in closeAllScripts

  • global exception handling: QEvent type name is printed to message (as string, not only number)

  • CMake BUILD_TARGET64 set to default ON

  • more source code documentation added

  • fixed memory leak in ito::DataObject::stack: planes-stack was not correctly deleted. Further improvements in documentation and some code cleanup in this function

  • create designer folder (if it does not exist yet) when building itomWidgets library

  • linux bugfix of double-linked-list error when closing itom. The problem was, that the libitomWidgets.so library was copied to both the main directory of itom as well as the designer subfolder. The first version is necessary to run itom, the 2nd version to load ui’s containing widgets of this library. However it seems that linux does not like it, if two identical libraries are loaded from two different locations. Therefore, the library in the designer subfolder is now replaced by a symlink to the other library (linux only)

  • moved more protected or private members and methods from public interfaces, like AbstractFigure, AddInInterfaceBase, AddInBase,… to avoid many unnecessary ABI changes of the AddInInterface.

  • removed enum.py from itom-packages since it causes compatibility issues with the ‘real’ enum.py of the default python installation.

  • fixes related to shutdown of itom: if user cancels the question whether unsaved scripts should be safed, itom is now not closed any more. Further fixes are related to the progress bar in the “close itom” dialog (shown if Python is still running)

  • PyEval_InitThreads() has not to be called any more for Python >= 3.7

  • Python package manager: support of Pip >= 18.0. Added support for –trusted-host options. This allows accessing pypi.org over a proxy in a company network without SSL certificates.

  • fix in QSharedPointer deleter method which are responsible to also decrement any PyObject elements. Sometimes, it is not verified which thread (Python, GUI…) is finally releasing a QSharedPointer, which for instance wraps a dataObject, char-buffer… whose base is another PyObject element. Once the pointer is released, a specific deleter-method is called which calls PyDECREF… of the PyObject base pointer. However if PyDECREF is called, the Python interpreter lock (GIL) must be hold by the caller, else a crash might occur. This is now ensured. The solution is only safe for Python >= 3.4, since other versions cannot tell if the GIL is currently hold by the caller or not, which can lead to a deadlock.

  • improved error message in global exception catch (QApplication::notify)

  • error message if python packages jedi or parso are not available, required for optional auto completion, calltips and goto definition

  • PythonDataObject: proper redirection of possible errors in PyDataObj_mappingSetElem

  • clear all button added in workspace widget of itom, the same feature is also accessible via the new method itom.clearAll().

  • version tag unifications in all library projects of itom, added missing libraries in version helper of itom

  • class itom.shape has new attribute color. Per default, this color is invalid. In this case, the plots will visualize a shape with the default shape color of the plot. However, if a valid color is set, this color will be used for visualization in plots.

  • improvements in widget pythonLogWidget: properties autoScroll and verticalSizeHint added, improved context menu with clear and checkable autoScroll actions

  • Plot windows: the optional title of a plot is now also part of the window title, e.g. Figure 100 - <your plot title>

  • Widget paramEditorWidget: property collapsed added

  • added itom.dataObject.nans() function for ‘float32, ‘float64’, ‘complex64’, ‘complex128’ data type.

  • added menu figure to itom in order to close, show or activate current figure windows

  • dataobj.cpp bug fix for GetStep of dataObject dim > 2

  • fix when passing an invalid coordinate tuple to the constructor or static constructors of the class shape

  • bugfix in ito::dObjHelper::medianValue for continuous and / or 2d dataObjects or dataObjects with a limited ROI in the last two dimensions.

  • callstack widget: changed column order for a better usability

  • the script command for a specific plugin initialization can be obtained via drag and drop from the plugin toolbox to the script or console

  • many other bugfixes, for instance:

    • fix to avoid a call for QAbstractItemModel::beginRemoveRows if no rows are currently available in the model (avoids ‘new’ assertion in beginRemoveRows, added with Qt 5.11

    • linux compiler fixes (e.g. issue #69)

    • fix issue #67

    • Memory leak fix in PythonMatlab::PyMatlabSessionObject_run (issue #74)

    • Windows Setup: Redistributible install error if newer version is already installed (issue #54)

    • prevents a python GIL deadlock, if a np.array is converted to a dataObject and the dataObject is passed to a plot. If the plot then is forced by python to apply another dataObject, the old dataObject is deleted and its base-object (the np.array) should then be deleted, too. However, Python is currently blocked such that the base object cannot be deleted, since the GIL is not free. In this case, the deletion is now put into a concurrent worker thread to be executed when Python is ready again! (issue #75)

    • crash if constructor of itom.shape is called with invalid or missing arguments (issue #84)

    • when a QSharedPointer is build to share memory with a PyObject pointer, like bytearray or bytes, this PyObject pointer has to be decremented once the QSharedPointer is deleted. This is done in a deleter-method. To decref the PyObject* the GIL has to be acquired. This caused a dead-lock in some cases. This is fixed now. (issue #81)

  • itom1dqwtplot: line cuts in pure x or y direction are now displayed with regard to their start and endpoint. Until now the x-vector was always displayed in positive direction.

  • itom1dqwtplot: bugfix when applying z picker on a complex dataObject. The 1DPlot wasn’t in the same complex mode as the 2d plot

  • itom1dqwtplot: Grid type can now be chosen from menu

  • itom1dqwtplot: legend titles from previous object are re-used if no new lines are added to the plot

  • Instructions how to add OpenSSL to future Windows setups added to SetupChangeLog.txt. About.html adapted.

  • ParamEditorWidget: it is now possible to set this widget into a mode, that changed parameters are not immediately transferred to the plugin but stored in a cache. The user can then read this cache and set the parameters or force the widget to set all cached changes at any desired time. This allows using this widget in configuration dialogs of plugins, too.

  • adapted build macros for MSVC detection to MSVC_VERSION variable, as starting from VS2017 (probably) no longer MSVCXX variables will get set

  • shape: method contains added to verify of one or multiple points lie within the given shape.

  • alpha values of background colors of plot properties in general plot setting dialog are changeable

  • brushCreatorButton allows optionally changing the alpha value of the color (can be set via property, if desired)

  • added coding keywords to open tex-files for latex docu creation

  • File System sorting properties are saved to the settingsFile and are loaded by starting itom to get the same sorting of the file System again.

  • updated paths in doxygen input file, updates URLs in intersphinx_mappings

  • close-method of plugins is only called as direct connection from AddInManager if it is used by an external-DLL and has created its own instance of QApplication. In all other cases, an Auto-connection is used.

  • workaround in matplotlib backend if coordinates with special characters (e.g. due to polar plot -> zoom tool, greek letters) should be displayed

  • AddInManager unittest: scan plugin directory for plugins instead of entire itom directory

  • dataIO.getParam, actuator.getParam: initialize ito::Param value with right type, since this might sometimes be forgotten within the plugin itself.

  • ParamEditorWidget: int-array, double-array and char-array: values are displayed and can be manipulated, if desired

1.2.3.2. Plugins#

(140 commits in plugins repository)

  • added /LTCG linker flag in windows/release build to remove linker warning

  • added loading of variables from itom CMakeCache, for faster configuration of projects

  • VTK_DIR excluded in load_cache from itom project because without a path this entry can not be changed in the plugin project

  • plotxy: bugfix for picker update when changing complex state

  • plotxy: added hash check for x-vector

  • itom2dqwtplot: color maps can be also selected from submenu of existing colormap action

  • plotxy: do not call drawSeries with coordinates… this leads to lost connections between the points

  • itom1dqwtplot, itom2dqwtplot: further fixes with respect to shapes

  • plotxy: switching between xy and 1d implemented

  • itom1dqwtplot, itom2dqwtplot: improvements for rotating, moving… shapes in plots

  • itom1dqwtplot: set picker at local min/max position within current view implemented (fixes issue #13)

  • DataObjectSeriesData: removed template from header by using explicit template instantiation

  • send current view to Workspace exports complex datatype from 1d plot. It was necessary to realize this template function in the header file.

  • itom1dqwtplot: improvements in picker-handling. If multiple curves are visible, pickers can only switch between visible curves using the up and down buttons. If the min-max-action is clicked and multi curves are visible, a selection dialog appears to ask the user to select one (visible) curve.

  • itom1dqwtplot, itom2dqwtplot, matplotlibPlot: the dpi of the “copy to clipboard” method can now be set by one common default value (in the itom property dialog)

  • matplotlibPlot: copy to clipboard (Ctrl+C) implemented with default dpi of 200 (similar to itom1dqwtplot and itom2dqwtplot)

  • itom1dqwtplot, itom2dqwtplot: changed default dpi for “copy to clipboard” to 200 dpi (due to possible import errors in MS Office… if the image is too big). The default dpi should be changeable by the itom figure properties in future releases of itom.

  • itom1dqwtplot: 12th default line color slightly changed to become a little bit darker

  • itom1dqwtplot: faster plot of very huge dataObjects (e.g. > 1e5 or 1e6 points) in case of ordinary line plots (no steps etc.)

  • itom1dqwtplot: data points outside of current view are not considered any more for data handling (if ClipPolygons attribute is On). This increases plotting speed for big dataObjects and zoomed views.
