Many bugfixes
If you downloaded version 0.99 when I mentioned it earlier here, please get the new version anyway; I made a couple minor bugfixes in the meantime.
I’ve tested it on several computers, including Intel and PowerPC, MacOS4 and MacOS5, but there are some combinations of those I haven’t been able to test. Hopefully there are no configuration-dependent bugs.
Two versions of 0.99? Heh.
I thought about adding an extra digit (v.0.991) to go with the “asymptotically approaching” theme, but that seemed like too much work.
I use the XPlasMap(0.99) to draw the plasmid map. It works well on my powerbook G4-1G, OS10.4.11. There two bugs I find. The first, I can not export the map as JPG or PNG; the second, the “print” function doesn’t work.
So I capture the map directly and save the figure as jpg file. Print it through “preview software” in my Mac.
I introduce the XPlasMap to my colleagues to produce high-quality map.
Looking forward the release of XPlasMap 1.0.
Hey there great page and regarding what you said about: “If you downloaded version 0.99 when I mentioned it earlier here, please get the new version anyway; I made a couple minor bugfixes in the meantime.”
Im not really finding a way to do it with the older version would you know what i may be doing wrong?
