-====== Introducing MagicPlot 2.10 [NOT RELEASED YET] ====== 
- 
-To be released in fall 2020. \\ 
-**This is a draft document. The features described are subject to change.** 
- 
-===== Setting Variables in Formulas ===== 
- 
-In MagicPlot 2.10 you can set variables in formulas: write an assignment and a semicolon to separate it from the next part of the formula, for example: ''a=5; a*a + 2*a + 1''. The last expression (after the last semicolon) is the result of the formula and cannot contain an assignment. MagicPlot highlights all usages of the variable at cursor in the edited formula. 
- 
-The variables can be used in Column Formula, Custom Fit Curve equation and in any other formula fields in MagicPlot. 
- 
-{{:release:variables.png?nolink|}} 
- 
-==== Tip: Inserting Fit Equation to the Column Formula ==== 
- 
-You can copy the fit equation with variables from the Report tab of a Fit Plot and paste it in any formula field including Column Formula: 
- 
-{{:release:report.png?nolink|}} 
- 
-===== Comments in Formula ===== 
- 
-You can insert comments in any formula using ''/*...*/'' notation: 
- 
-{{:release:formula_comments.png?nolink|}} 
- 
-Use ''Ctrl+/'' / ''Cmd-/'' keyboard shortcut to comment selection. Comments can be multi-line. Note that the single line comments using a symbol on the line start (like ''%%//%%'' or ''%'') are not supported because line breaks are not taken into account in MagicPlot formula syntax. 
- 
-===== Simplified Column Formula Notation ===== 
- 
-We have simplified Column Formula syntax: column and cell values can be inserted using ''$A'' and ''$A$1'' instead of ''col(A)'' and ''cell(A, 1)''. The old notation also works. 
- 
-The new notation only works with constant column/cell indexes. Use ''col'' and ''cell'' functions if you need to vary the index, ex. ''col(i)'' and ''cell(i-1, j+1)''. 
- 
-{{:release:columns_in_formula.png?nolink|}} 
- 
-===== Formulas for Multiple columns ===== 
- 
-The same formula can be set for multiple selected columns. You can use this feature to compute matrices. The ''i'' and ''j'' variables are the current row and column indexes. 
- 
-===== Calculation in Reverse Row Order ===== 
- 
-You can swap ''from'' and ''to'' row indexes to reverse the calculation order. This can be useful if the cell formula contains the value of the previously calculated cell in the same column. 
- 
-===== Undo/Redo in Formula Editor ===== 
- 
-MagicPlot now supports Undo and Redo in formula editor using ''Ctrl+Z'' / ''Cmd-Z'' (Undo) and ''Ctrl+Shift+Z'' / ''Cmd-Shift-Z'' or ''Ctrl+Y'' / ''Cmd-Y'' (Redo) shortcuts. 
- 
-===== Optimized Table Scrolling and Redrawing ===== 
- 
-We have optimized the program code of the redrawing of the Table to eliminate lags when scrolling and editing a Table with tens or hundreds of thousands of columns. 
- 
-===== No more 'Data-Baseline' Column ===== 
- 
-Staring MagicPlot 2.10 The 'Data-Baseline' column is no more added to the Table when creating a Fit Plot. The 'Data-Baseline' column contain the Y values with subtracted baseline curve from Fit Plot -- the exact Y values that are plotted. This feature was introduced in the first MagicPlot versions but it proved to be mostly usefulness by our customers. 
- 
-The 'Data-Baseline' auto-recalculated columns will be preserved when opening old projects for backward compatibility. You can deleted these columns manually. 
- 
-Now you can manually create 'Data-Baseline' column among with other fit results columns using the Fit Report tab of a Fit Plot, choose ''Y with baseline corrected'' and click on ''Add to Table'' button: 
- 
-{{:release:y-minus-baseline-adding.png?nolink|}} 
- 
-===== Adding Fit Sum Column to the Table ===== 
- 
-You can simply create a column with Fit Sum and other values in the Table with Fit Plot data using Fit Report tab. The alternatives are: Fit Sum, Baseline, Y with baseline corrected, Residual: 
- 
-{{:release:add-fit-result-to-table.png?nolink|}} 
- 
-Multiple columns from the selected individual curves (including Fit Sum) can be added to the table using the context menu on the curve itself on the Fit Plot, legend or in the curves list: 
- 
-{{:release:add-curve-to-table.png?nolink|}} 
- 
-The new curves are added to the Table where Y column of the Fit Plot data is located: 
- 
-{{:release:table-with-curves.png?nolink|}} 
- 
-The Auto Recalculation is on by default for the created columns and can be switched off.  
- 
-===== Changes in Keyboard Shortcuts ===== 
- 
-  * The keyboard shortcut for Undo History was changed to ''Ctrl+Shift+H'' / ''Shift-Cmd-H''. 
-  * A new shortcut for creating a Folder added: ''Ctrl+Shift+N'' / ''Shift-Cmd-N''. 
- 
-===== Descriptive Statistics on Rows ===== 
- 
-The statistics on table rows can now be calculated using Descriptive Statistics dialog. The Columns/Rows switch was added: 
- 
-{{:release:row-statistics.png?nolink|}} 
- 
- 
-===== Other Minor Enhancements ===== 
- 
-  *  0000567: [Other] Adding table curve to multiple selected figures when copy-pasting table  
-  *  0000256: [Processing] Add empty cell (NaN) check function in column formula syntax

-  *  0000552: [Other] If Project Tree is not focused, it will not get focus when opening context menu on right click.  
-  *  0000530: [Other] Pasting a fit curve from another project comes with pasting data table from original fit plot
