Color Map Plots (in Pro edition only)

We are proud to introduce the long-awaited color map plots support in MagicPlot with the following features:

Non-uniform x/y data support

Bicubic and bilinear image interpolation, available with non-uniform data also

Fast rendering of large tables (>1000×1000)

Discrete and smooth color interpolation options

Zooming with mouse/touchpad

Multiple color map plots and curves in one axes box

Palette customization and saving of presets

Transparent colors support

Exporting compact images in vector formats

Fully integrated in MagicPlot work flow (coping/pasting color map, zooming etc.)

Non-Uniform X/Y Data Support and Image Interpolation

MagicPlot offers 3 image interpolation options:

Off (nearest neighbor);

Bilinear;

Bicubic.

Color Map Style tab

MagicPlot supports non-uniform X/Y data and interpolation is available for non-uniform data also:

Various Improvements and Fixes

Many enhancements and bug fixes were made based on the user feedback and testing. The full list can be found in release notes.

A Correction in Chi Square Calculation if Y Errors are Set

In nonlinear fitting algorithm in MagicPlot 2.5.1 and older, if Y error column(s) were set, weights of points were normalized so that the sum of weights was equal to one. The resulting chi square value shown in 'fit report' in old releases did not take into account real Y error amplitudes. In MagicPlot 2.7 the points weights are not normalized and chi square is calculated correctly. Note that this modification does not affect the resulting fit parameter values and standard deviations which were correct in old releases. See also: Fitting Algorithm and Computational Formulas.
