v1.1.2

This point release changes the Typescript dependencies to resolve some vulnerabilities, in a way which should not impact the library, its interface, or its functionality.

v1.1.1

This point release updates to the latest versions of most dependencies,
including compatibility with the latest NPM, pybind11, and updates
the pipelines to be compatible with more up-to-date practices.

v1.1.0

This minor release marks the first major Milestone release of Scenepic. This release addresses many of the long-standing issues in the v1.0.0 release and adds new features and functionality as well.

Features

• Text burning into individual video frames (for VideoWriter
• Per-frame layer settings
• The dropdown menu visibility can be directly controlled via UIParameters
• A standalone parameter has been added to save_as_script to enable the creation of standalone scripts.
• The status_bar_visibility of a Scene can now be set (i.e. it is now possible to hide the status bar if desired.)
• There is now a new camera control mode, "First Person", accessible by pressing Tab, which enables mouse-look and wasdqe movement controls. The old mode, now called "Focus", is still available as the default.
• Font scale is now configurable on VideoWriter
• There is now a "reset camera" button on the control bar so that users without a keyboard can reset camera position
• Can now update colors per frame for both meshes and instanced meshes
• quaternion_multiply adds the long-missing code to combine quaternion rotations
• Camera.orbit creates a sequence of orbiting cameras around a central point
• Can specify text alignment and size for graph labels and values
• Can add vertical rules to separate out horizontal regions of the graph
• save_html can now separate out the script and library components (for easier testing of new Typescript library features)
• Keyboard shortcuts for toggling layer visibility.
• Ability to pick the centroid of a mesh as a focus point by clicking on it while in focus point selection mode.
• Pan/zoom functionality to 2D canvases.
• Full pinch, zoom and rotate with two fingers is now supported

Improvements

• Added new hello_scenepic.py and hello_scenepic.cpp example code
• Added a clang-format pipeline and build targets
• Normalized C++ file format
• Stub files for all classes properly expose the docstrings in VS Code and other editors, thus making development in Python considerably easier.
• The missing methods for a variety of classes have been added to the python docs
• The version of pybind11 has been bumped to the latest release
• Notebooks that contain scenepic are now correctly displayed in Jupyter notebooks within VS Code

Bug Fixes

• load_obj now correctly loads normals when present in the OBJ file
• MeshInfo now exposes normals
• C++ build typos now fixed
• Fixed erroneous pipeline triggers
• While transparent backgrounds were supported by the library, it was not exposed via the client APIs. This has been fixed via a 4D color parameter for Shading.
• Coordinate axes bug
• Negative angle bug
• Mesh Update for instanced meshes
• Standalone scripts were missing a newline as a result of recent NPM changes. This is now added in manually in the script generation process.
• Dropdown menus will now correctly appear on top of canvases in the z-order
• Dropdown menus will align on the opposite side if not doing so would result appearing outside the viewbox

Deprecated

• update_mesh_without_normals has been deprecated in favor of the new method update_mesh_positions

v1.0.19

Point release adding pan/zoom functionality to 2D canvases.

v1.0.18

Point release adding the ability to pick the centroid of a mesh as
a focus point by clicking on it while in focus point selection mode.

Also includes an upgrade to WebGL 2, and some minor improvements with the build.

v1.0.17

Point release adding keyboard shortcuts for toggling layer visibility.

v1.0.16

Point release fixing an issue with Jupyter rendering order.

Previously, when a Jupyter notebook containing Scenepic cells was
loaded after having been saved, the outputs would appear out
of order within the notebook. Also, the full library was written into
each cell, resulting in a lot of duplicate Javascript for notebooks
which included heavy use of the library. The new solution uses a few
elements to avoid this:

• The library is written as an external script file in the same directory
  as the notebook. This has the advantage of making debugging the
  Typescript library easier (this is a return to previous functionality).
• The library is loaded once via a single script tag
• Each cell is assigned a unique ID that is used by scenepic to target it
• When reloading a saved notebook, order is preserved due to the use of
  the unique ids.

v1.0.15

Point release fixing the missing methods in Python documention.

New Features

• The missing methods for a variety of classes have been added to the python docs
• The version of pybind11 has been bumped to the latest release

v1.0.14

Point release adding additional graph features.

New Features:

• Can specify text alignment and size for graph labels and values
• Can add vertical rules to separate out horizontal regions of the graph
• save_html can now separate out the script and library components
  (for easier testing of new Typescript library features)

v1.0.13

Point release adding stub files for all Python classes. (#17)

New Features:

• Stub files for all classes properly expose the docstrings in VS Code and other
  editors, thus making development in Python considerably easier.
