Change Log for Scree Painter

Version 1.1.6

13 January 2010

Fixed a bug related to raster images with world files specifying different pixel dimensions in horizontal and vertical direction. Such images are still not supported, but a error dialog is now displayed.

5 August 2009

Fixed a bug in the dithering algorithm that steers the density of stones. A few stones did get lost and were not placed on the map. With the fixed version, small polygons are now more evenly filled and stones are slightly more densely packed in dark shaded slopes. In general, the fixed version tends to place more stones in bright areas. The default gradation curve has been adjusted to compensate for this change.
Fixed the same bug in the computation of gully lines. The fixed version produces slightly different gully lines.

23 July 2009

Fixed a bug in error reporting when the scree stones cannot be generated, e.g. when not enough RAM is available.
Reduced the amount of RAM required to export to PDF.
Unneeded Memory is now properly released after generating scree for making more RAM available to export operations.
Fixed a minor bug in the "Zoom to Update Area" menu command.

21 July 2009

Fixed a bug that prevented Scree Painter from running on some Windows computers with more than 2GB of RAM.

20 July 2009

Fixed bug in "Toggle Reference Image and Obstacles Mask".
Corrected default curve for density and size of stones on the gradation mask.
Fixed minor bug in the "Save Settings" command.
Fixed bug that made the menu bar disappear on Mac when the Data Dialog was opened.

13 July 2009

Accelerated the display of scree stones at small scales.
Changed the way the size of stones in gully lines is computed. There are now two sliders for setting the size of stones in gully lines: one slider for the diameter of the highest stone and another slider for the diameter of the lowest stone.
Added "White Space around Gully Lines" slider to adjust the amount of white space around gully lines.
Added "Scree > Adjust Update Area to Visible Area" menu command.
Added "Zoom on Update Area" menu command.
Made cosmetic changes to the progress dialog reporting on the number of stones generated.

6 July 2009

The Windows version did silently overwrite existing settings file if the name of an existing file was used to save a new file. Fixed.
The name of an opened settings file is now displayed in the window header.
Removed the useless Edit menu.
Closing the data dialog with the X button is now possible.
Added Online Help menu command.
