iAntConfig version 0.1

21 April 2009

This is an early release of iAntConfig, its development is still ongoing. The following improvements have been made (largely still undocumented):

1. Application and document icons
2. Document modified indicator to prevent accidental loss of work
3. Export views to pdf
4. Tooltips for titlebar buttons of the views
5. Multiple layouts by permuting layout: rotate, scale, offset, gamma scale, twirl, dither, disable
6. Panel for precise editing of scale, rotate, offset copy/paste operation
7. Display arbitrary cross-sections for PSF, UV histograms, cumulative histograms of antenna positions (user specified origin)
8. Some (memory management/crash) bug fixes
9. Simplification of ideal specification, resulting in file format change (BEWARE!)
10. File format change
11. New version for 'ZA mask.iant' in updated file format, other files (eg vla.iant) do not contain ideal objects and hence was not updated.
12. Search for labelled items
13. Insert units as seperate column in report, setting views
14. Display units on axes for performance graphs
15. Indicate primary beam on PSF (and sky images) as dotted line at half power (extents of bandwidth), using simple lambda/D
16. Show axes in Popout windows
17. Combine UV (polar) view into Cartesian view as right click option rather than as separate editor and result views
18. Package layout files of existing arrays; auto zoom and pan when load
19. Enable interface for logarithmic distribution as ideal to integrate with performance measure, display graphically in ideal editor
20. uvbin plot - azimuth vs log(uv radius)
21. Popout windows for view on multiple monitors
22. Export performance graphs to file
23. Unmovable antennas to constrain optimizations and manipulations
24. Save/load workspace
25. Implement item count functionality in performance editor
26. Context sensitive help
